This conversation is about "Can we identify any particular reasons why some movies don't make as much money as other movies."And the answer appears to be "Because not as many people like them," which I'm not sure is the most helpful answer ever, but it IS well-supported.The big question is "Why don't as many people like them?"And the answer to that is "Because they didn't hire ME to write them, dadgumit!"Actually, it's funny. I was reviewing some of my screenplays (all unsold) and thinking, "Damn, I WANT to see a movie about a travelling mercenary swordsman who gets trapped in a town full of zombies and hooks up with a bitter ex-mercenary woman who's husband's just been killed by the zombie-leading spider god cultist to penetrate the spider god's lair, free the villagers, destroy the underground temple in a spectacular flash flood, and then inspire the woman to get her bloody, thunderous revenge on the bad guys and ride off into the sunset."Probably wouldn't score very high on RottenTomatoes, nor at the box office, but I'd PAY to watch that.</blockquote>
