The/my TLDR: we as the audience probably need to re-frame how we decide which movies we go and see. Instead of just going for the obvious blockbusters … we need to decide on our own hype as we did with barbenheimer. The movie industry might be crumbling, and we, the audience might be as much to blame as the shitty execs.
The only reason I go to the movies is to have some place to take a date. Other than that, I’d rather watch them at home. The movie industry is changing, it’s adapt or perish.
What can they adapt to? Would you see a film for any other reason?
