#2I thought it was piracy? Damn, clearly I have to pivot to hating Rotten Tomatoes.

#3Thing is, the ratings are irrelevant. Someone is paying to see these movies, else executives wouldn't approving them to be made. It's all about money, and brainless, rehashed, sequel nonsense makes tons of it. You want someone to blame? Blame the public. It's not Rotten Tomatoes or the Movie Industry. The latter is giving everyone exactly what they want.
In response to below.
The Mummy made $403,814,493 with a 16% !!
Poor turnouts at the theater are due entirely to home streaming services. People don't want to leave their houses to go sit with a bunch of strangers anymore. It doesn't have anything to do with garbage movies. There has always been tons of crap in the theaters.

#4I think more than anything what we need is more movies made by low-budget places. I really don't want to see another sequel, redo, or comic book movie. It's just lazy on the part of the movie companies.

Did you read the article?
This whole line of idiotic finger-pointing was kicked off because the movie business had the worst overall box office revenue in 20 years.

But they aren't that's the point, this is some of the worst turnouts for movies ever.

#7If a movie is over 2 and a half hours long, and doesn't bring anything new to the table, then I'm not interested.

This is also because Amazon and Netflix are buying up things that might have otherwise gone to the theaters. Why pay royalties forever when you can just own it forever and amortize the cost?

Well millions and millions of other people do, so why should the movie companies cater to you instead?

#10We're due for another studio crash. Hopefully that will scale back some of the ridiculous budgets on these things and let some new blood break into the scene.
