For the last few years franchise movies like star wars, marvel, etc. made money regardless of quality. However now it seems like audiences are being choosier when it comes to these kinds of tentpole releases. I’ve seen some people online say that the movie/theater industry is losing people in general but I don’t think that’s the case.
Super Mario and spiderverse made a lot of money. And Oppenheimer, Barbie, and Dune seem to be tracking well. I think the problem is that people are getting sick of the same old stuff and need more than just a brand name to go to the theater. What do you you think?
Wow! That’s quite expensive. I’d hate to have to pay for parking at the movies. Our theater is more like 10-12 for a movie ticket, plus upcharged drinks and snacks, so my wife and I still end up paying at least 40 bucks to go to the movies. We go once a month at most, but it has to be part of a date night, you can’t just go to the movies on a whim anymore.
