this is part of the shitty business of show business. but every BBC movie I watch we see many familiar faces so BC will have plenty of work there.
"Hollywood investors are super conservative and only care about making money, but also suck at understanding why things do or don’t make a lot of money and therefore like to blame the talent - especially if new."--- well hollywood on a whole is soooo not politically conservative, and very liberal. However the Hollywood crowd (From musicians, actors, filmmakers, and all the supporting industry) likes keeping their money and use every tax loop hole available. Movie making is time consuming and expensive to do it well, like any producers of product, and it is product, they want a ROI. Spielberg reinvests to get control over his pictures. Budget sometimes matters in making a great movie, sometimes it doesn't.
Fear not, the after theater market makes money for them as well. Some movies that stunk at the box office make quite a bit on the DVD market, and make even more money than the theater run. Theater goers are not us, they are mostly young men. If middle aged women poured money into theaters the market would adjust accordingly to follow the money.
I liked the hobbit, but it's production value (writing) wasn't as good as LOTR. That's what kills a movie. Great actors cannot fix crappy writing and a crappy story.
