Topic	So Ben Affleck says the future of the box office is spectacle
Mac Arrowny 01/12/22 11:06:52 AM #12:	Seanchan posted... I have to wonder when the last time even 5 of the top 10 for the year, in terms of box office gross, were "mature adult dramas". Sure, in recent years it's easy to think about the MCU, Harry Potter, LotR, Fast and Furious, etc. But even going back to the 80s and 90s, the biggest films were still "spectacles" like Jurassic Park, Indiana Jones, Star Wars, Back to the Future, etc. The scope of spectacle has changed but it's still the draw to go watch on the biggest screen and sound system. It's not about being at the top - it's more being able to earn a lot of money while also being a drama. Stuff like The Blind Side, A Beautiful Mind, Argo, and Lincoln made a ton of money. There haven't been as many examples of that sort of thing recently. KingButz posted... Well there's very little advantage to watching most movies in the cinema. My home theatre is good enough that the experience of watching something like Minari is just as good, if not better, at home. Yup, that's what Affleck said. --- All the stars in the sky are waiting for you. <cite>Mac Arrowny posted [p:961685133] in So Ben Aff...
