While I'm glad that we might see some Hollywood reform, it is a shame it is this crop of movies that did it. I don't get to the theater as much because I have a two-year old, but I think this year's crop of films was much much better than last year's. And some of the original ideas like Edge of Tomorrow were profoundly ignored by moviegoers.

I don't think moviegoers are rejecting comic book movies, as much as you may want them to, they are rejecting outrageous concession prices and a theater experience that is not much better than watching at home. The only theater I go to now is Alamo or Studio Movie Grill. I've abandoned the classic movie theater.

It had a shitty preview man.

I'm telling you, give that thing a trailer that is interesting and fully explains the concept and its a big hit.

This and well ticket prices aren't going down and nor will concession prices.

Hollywood is fighting changes like streaming and redbox with stupid tactics like delaying releases instead of adapting.
