Only artfilms are released now

Odradek

Remember when there was the big "films are art" debate and the accursed "art films" first began being made? Had we only fought them then, we may have been able to keep our beloved summer blockbusters! But alas, we did not, and art films became the norm as big budget movies about superhero robots were consigned to the dustbin of history.

In the grim darkness of the far future, there is only Ingmar Bergman.

However, Lions Gate Films was able to get a couple Voltron movies out before the fad passed!

Eh, superhero robots'll be back in about 20 years :P

PR had an underwhelming opening weekend domestically and was deemed Yet Another Summer Bomb™

Previous Calica

didn't it actually, you know, do pretty well for itself though

Overseas, yes, and it made its money slowly here

less than half the budget here so far, though

Justice4243

Overseas are where most movies are probably going to see the lion's share of there money for a while.

I'm told that Pacific Rim 2: Pacific Harder has already been greenlit.

This deluge of artfilms hasn't been all bad. It did give us Koyaanisqatsi.

Viani

It gave us Artierre
