Debatable at best. Art is produced out of passion, if the passion becomes overly monetized then it becomes pretty clear it stops being a reflection of the artist, and more so in the name of profit, which kills innovation.
Take for example, Wes Anderson movies. They aren't ranking in the billions after a successful weekend, but they don't have too because the folks involved recognize it's a passion project. I mean the cast alone is indicative that they're willing to take on a role that pays maybe a quarter of what they normally receive in other flicks.
