That is the effect I'd expect to see (yay more cb). People don't want to take a chance with a small indie film unless they know it's good and with MU down, there's no word-of-mouth information to tell them it is. But they still want to go see a movie. The effect being that they bank on something sure - a well-promoted and known movie. In effect blockbusters with huge marketing get a boost, because smaller films' marketing gets nipped.
