Sure not everyone will agree but I think Denis Villeneuve is keeping the 21st Century box office on life support.
Would be good if cinemas (the non-independent cinemas) showed somewhat more daring, thought-provoking and geographically varied motion pictures, not just those that exist for the sole purpose of entertainment and highest grossing ticket sales.
Maybe documentaries, conferences and film festivals will be the future box office.
Yes, churning out garbage to the lowest common denominator that also can’t piss off the CCP is not going to draw people in. People that still have money to burn in cinemas are reading user reviews before buying a ticket now.
