    Honestly I think the bigger problem for theater revenue is less the quality of the film, and more the theaters themselves.

    They charge three months rent for a bag of popcorn, a kidney for the ticket, and the remainder of your life of slave labor for medium soda.

    Even smuggling in the noms, the cost of the ticket alone isn’t worth the experience… the experience being shitty, squeaky seats, the smell of butter, cigarettes, and BO, obnoxious customers who are incapable of shutting the fuck up, and some fucking redneck sitting right in front of you with a 10 gallon cowboy hat that’s obstructing about a quarter of the screen.

    The live action lazy remakes are just icing on the cake.

      How many millions of dollars in profit were made by Jack Black saying the words “Chicken jockey?”

      Money can be made with movies. Just…not by Disney.

        Just…not by Disney.

        Except Toy Story 5.

        Also the Lilo & Stitch remake last year made about the same as Minecraft.

        The Moana remake probably sucks, but Disney still makes money.
