Box office results, however, do not determine the quality of a movie. There were interesting, if not great movies to choose, only the mass audience did not.
The flip side would be that, at least for this month, the masses turned away from the usual crap that gets wide releases and, normally, does well at the box office.
The supposed “interesting” and “great” movies are not the ones that are going to get huge returns from the general audiences. With it costing as much as it does to go to the movies these days, and for all of the aggravation you put yourself through by going out to watch a movie with your fellow members of the public, it’s just not worth the financial and time investment to take a chance on something that looks interesting, especially when that movie will be on a streaming platform in just a couple of months time for a lot less financial and time investment.

The lead is somewhat buried in the article, but the Oscar winner the headline refers to is none other than Benicio del Toro.

It seems it will ignore Tomb of the dragon emperor, which is fair enough. The only good thing in that film that wasn’t inherited was Michelle Yeoh.

I wonder if our man Timothy Dalton is back as Mr. Pricklepants.
