Yep, I think we're both correct. https://www.pewresearch.org/chart/domestic-ticket-sales-plunged-during-the-pandemic-and-still-havent-recovered/

To add another reason, Hollywood producers seem quite keen to rehash the same movie or type of movie over and over. They remake movies literally multiple times. And they have nearly zero original movie ideas that they promote. Sure, superhero movies since Iron Man has done fairly well -- because the comic book nerds finally grew up and have their own money to spend. But that isn't going to last, especially in this post-pandemic, greed-ridden, unregulated economy.

None of this should be a surprise to any studio exec or producer.

So they're shooting themselves in the foot. Good. I deleted my 15-year account back in 2023 after that greedy piece of shit, spez, screwed over the app devs. Only reason I ever visit reddit now is if it happens to be the end result of a google search. If they require me to log in to see it, then they will no longer get my traffic. And I suspect that will be the case for quite a lot of people.

It wasn't a great movie, but it wasn't that bad either. The issue isn't the movie. The issue is that people, like myself, rarely go to the movie theater anymore. It has to be of significant quality of a movie (think: The Matrix, The Odyssey, Spaceballs 2 :D ) to even consider going to deal with the people, the high price, etc.

I am ashamed to admit that took me longer than it should to get the joke. But that's my lot in life.

Well now I get to laugh even harder at the suckers who bought them.

Fuck this halfwit wannabe dudebro whose penis is likely smaller than Trump's. I cannot wait until this piece of shit is in prison getting fucked up the ass on an hourly schedule.

In fact, the evidence clearly points to Americans getting dumber.

As an American, we’ll be lucky if we still have a country in 10 or 20 years. Assuming Dickfingers doesn’t try to nuke everyone before he finally dies.

What a complete evil fucktard. Why won’t he just have that inevitable heart attack and end this?

As a long time Apple device user...Apple can fuck right off.

Please. No. Don’t.

Anyway…

Good. Maybe one day the investors will see this idiot for what he is: a greedy racist fascist. And stop investing in his bullshit.

If capitalism works, we'll start to see competitors enter the market and prices would go down.

If capitalism worked.

Edit> In case it was lost, I changed tense in my second sentence because I know capitalism doesn’t work and only has ever served to make the rich even richer.
