crappy movies

That and not hyping movies that don't cost a zillion dollars to produce.

Many are crappy because they are used as vehicles to advance leftist ideology — those movies SUCK!

I noticed that one of the multiplexes near me is closing for good. It's a sign of the times. People can't afford to pay 10 or 15 dollars for a movie, particularly if they are taking spouses and children. Add to that refreshments, parking in some places, maybe a meal before or after the movie and it's an expensive day or night out. And if the movie is bad, the experience is even more painful.

I'm so glad I subscribe to Netflix and other such services. For a low monthly fee, I can see a movie in the comfort of my living room if I'm willing to wait a few months or so after release. And if the movie is a dud, no great loss.

When you make movies for other leftist hollywood types instead of for the public at large,

you’re not going to get the size of audience you need to “make box office”.

Of course, it’s a lot more important to most of these folks to have peer approval than to make a lot of bank.

Hollywood has always made crappy movies, one good ones.

Changing demographics and the decreasing costs of quality home theaters are probably the main reason. As Boomers and Gen-Xers age, they don't see the value in going to the cinema nearly as much as they used to. The younger generations that still go to the movies are fewer in numbers.

My wife and I still catch most of the big Hollywood films. We just wait for the Redbox release, rent the blu-ray version and watch it from the comfort of our sofa on our large HDTV home theater.

Add high prices to crappy movies. Even the rare decent movie isn’t worth going to a nasty theater for. I haven’t been to a theater since the last Harry Potter and hadn’t been before that since the previous Harry Potter and before that and before that.
