As soon as I saw it I figured “Yep. Destroy the messenger.” I wonder what the real figures are and if they matter?
As soon as I saw it (The headline).
Yeah, and the whole system is archaic anyway. Hollywood still uses the yardstick of theatrical sales as a determination of whether a movie is a success or not. That worked in the 1930s through the 1970s but now that movie rentals, pretty cheap DVDs for sale, and streaming provide alternate means of seeing the movie, the old Hollywood system is just outdated. There’s plenty of great movies that appeared to be a bit of a dud opening weekend, theater attendance was just alright, and the movie really took off and made its money on video.
We honestly don’t take age into consideration here.
The vast majority of moviegoers are under 30 and are not interested in a movie made by or starring a 90 year old man.
I doubt that a whole lot of them even know who he is.
He is great. But this happens to a lot of old actors
