Who do you think is buying the movie tickets? Is your little cousin gonna smash his piggy bank and pay the $35 ticket with his leftover pennies and nickels?
It’s adults. Adults pay to watch the movies. I’d happily pay to watch Shrek again in theaters.
Lol parents are paying. And parents don’t give a single shit if the movie the kids want to see is good or not, we expect the worst. We sat through the emoji movie and every Minion thrown at us.
I doubt you have kids so you’re not paying for anything here.
Besides stop acting like you’re funding the movie and demand returns. If you don’t wanna see it don’t. Show them your disdain by withholding your money. But don’t get mad when it’s a big hit with kids and it makes a fortune.
Yeah, but they pay for their kids to watch. Similar to how adults will happily pay to send their kids to summer camp: it’s mindless daycare and the adults get to switch off for a while.
The best pieces of children’s cinema are always those with good writing that can simultaneously entertain and respect both the children and the adults in the teather. Everything else is rightfully forgotten as dumb slop. Pandering to little children humor is always a sure way for IPs to die in obscurity.
I agree, but Hollywood doesn’t want to grow an IP, it wants fast quick money now, and if peddling fart jokes is all it takes to separate overwhelmed parents from their cash, then they’ll do it

Ahh I see. You’re the type of person to pull out their phone in the theater. 👍
