It’s so annoying to see this shit. Every person who complains about how stale movie releases are only ever goes to see what the ads on tv/youtube tell them to, then whine about their own choice while excellent indie movies eke by or fail outright. They reinforce the problem they complain about with zero sense of hypocrisy.
People can’t afford to go out to watch movies regularly enough to justify taking a gamble with their small entertainment budget.
The theatre experience is becoming so expensive and frankly unsatisfying compared to watching from home. Snacks that aren’t 22$ for a popcorn combo, smoke and toilet breaks, no shitheads with their phones, etc…
So no shit they are gonna take the safe bet and just download and watch the movies that they are unsure about.
It’s a negative feedback loop being used by the executives to pump out more regulated slop while thinking that’s what people want. No, people just can afford shit you greedy fucks!
Yeah I will say it’s been super cheep for me to go to the movies it’s about $5 or less per movie. But i recognize that not everyone has the option to go to the Alamo Draft House. I also don’t eat during the movies i eat before.

Eat before going to the theatre and try to go for shows before 5 pm, I usual get tickets for 12$ or less
This is not a new complaint. It’s been around for decades.
