Not a whole lot of Hollywood's cutting edge movies make money, what we basically have are Kids movies, good v evil, love stories, Disaster flicks, Action, Fantasy and Sci-fi, out of control animals and robots couple of comedies and more kids flicks where there is not a whole lot of grey, good trumps over evil.
So when Hollywood wants to make money they are pretty tame, but when they want to pat themselves on the back, nobody watches.
Most of the 'cutting edge' stuff is actually made by indies outside of Hollywood.
