Yes, and yet that is a symptom of the problem, not a root cause. You'll find the same issue in big budget movies these days. Huge marketing budget, huge special effects budget, etc. But the contents and script writing is terrible, or at best mediocre. The ultimate root cause is the fact that the money invested in a single movie is too high, and thus the studio/production company cannot have it fail. So they do everything in their power to make it succeed (financially), even if it goes against an artistic vision.
