Hi,
studios require theaters to play films; indefinitely. They do this to drive up the gross from a film, to improve Oscar chances. This also squeezes out small market films, like those geared for adults. In the long run, their audience grows up and leaves.I will say, that old fashioned movies didn't do well for a long time. I adored A Walk in the Clouds, it was a wonderful film done in classic Hollywood style with great actors (the role Keanu played fit his understated style)....and there were 3 people in the theater. It's one of my favorites, gonna get it on dvd one of these days.But I suspect that the industry ground out so much hamburger that the steaks got lost in the the detritus. But what else can you expect from the people that said the VCR would be the end of their industry? That lethal little box has made them a billion in profits, and may someday add another billion to the pile. Idiots.
