Which really isn't a bad thing. If we can kill off the big budget movie that is all terrible writing and only effects (Ben-Hur, $100 million budget, $26 million gross) and replace it with smaller budget movies with great scripts and acting (Hidden Figures, $25 million budget, $104 million gross), I'm completely fine with that.
Add in movie theaters like Metrograph in Manhattan, where I can buy an assigned seat for, say, a Kurosawa double feature, then I think we're moving in a good direction.

- aaron695 10y agoAll you've done is name some big budget movies that sucked and a low budget movie that worked. I argue the big budget movies that worked out number the # of low budget movies that worked (Obviously the # of low budget movies that sucked is in the hundreds way outnumbering big budget movies that sucked) http://www.imdb.com/search/title?year=2016,2016&title_type=feature&explore=user_rating&sort=num_votes,desc http://www.imdb.com/search/title?year=2016,2016&title_type=f...
