Thank you for explaining why every time we decide to go to a movie and open the Flixter app, my husband and I say "there's nothing out that's looks good" We're avid movie goers but this year I've noticed a distinct lack of quality movie selections and many of the ones we have seen are truly terrible sequels like Joker: Folie a Deux. This year I've often wondered what happened to all the good movies and now I know:(
I'm sorry, but Anora and Conclave are above both Poor Things and Anatomy of a Fall. Which is to say, that your comparison is very subjective. The thing is, there's plenty of interesting smaller movies being made (which is wonderful after years of people lamenting the death of mid-budget movie made for adults, not families), but a) people somehow still miss them, as the commenter above; b) tickets are pricy. I'd say, studios should invest a tad less in pure marketing and allow cinemas to reduce prices. I mean, nothing else worked anyway, so why not to risk a bit and see what happens.
The film industry is going away, because of crime, woke messaging, and that tv tech streaming is on par with most common theater screens. It may survive, but only have a fraction of cultural relavance or profitability.
