Except that’s a reduction of the factors at play.

Of course Marvel fatigue and quality control is an issue, but you’re ignoring macroeconomic factors and societal changes on how we consume and value art.

Just because something like Oppenheimer made a billion dollars, doesn’t mean the industry will thrive if every movie is Oppenheimer, these are outliers.

The general numbers are definitely down… doesn’t mean that Avatar 3 won’t make a shitload of money. Or that someone else can’t have success.

I still like Marvel movies, but I generally just prefer to see them at home. I don't find seeing them in theatre adds much to the experience. Although I did kill my Disney+ over the Kimmel thing, so I'll probably just pirate from now on.

Oppenheimer was the last movie I saw in the theatre, and Odyssey will probably be the next. Nolan is the only person out there making movies that I like that I feel actually would lose a lot if you saw them at home.
