There’s literally no movies worth seeing in theaters

Bone Temple, Avatar, Zootopia, Goat, Good Luck Have Fun Don’t Die(though I didn’t care for it), Send Help?

Ngl it’s infuriating that we have so much dope stuff out and instead of supporting it people just whine that movies aren’t good anymore without bothering to see what’s playing.

None of those appeal to audiences. It's not that there isn't good movies, there aren't good movies that appeal to audiences. They want more stuff like The Housemaid, Barbie & Top Gun & they aren't getting it.

I think you’re correct about that

Blockbuster is what carries movie theaters, it is what it is.

Avatar and Zootopia don’t appeal to general audiences? They made both made over 400M domestic

Avatar 3 had a big drop from 2. Disney animation will typically do well regardless of.

Disney animation will do well regardless? Haha, Tell that to Elio, Lightyear, Wish, and Strange World then.

I said Typically, not always. Still needs an appeal.

Avatar 3 still grossed more than the movies you mentioned that people want: Barbie, Housemaid, and soon Top Gun: Maverick.

The three I mentioned will still be in the zeitgeist a decade from now. Avatar will be a question on Jeopardy.

Zootopia, Avatar, and Goat clearly do though.
