Actually, no.
Hollywood is less concerned about making money than they are at putting out crap.
Studies have shown that the majority of Hollywood productions are R rated crap, filled with violence, language and nudity. Yet people want to see the family friendly movies. Movies that win Academy awards and bring in hundreds of millions in box office receipts are less important than the “Hollyweird” agenda.
True to a great extent. Studies have shown that while Family movies will do well, only so many of them will do well. People will go see 1 or 2 a Summer but that’s it. While with other fare (like the R rated flicks( people will see many of those in a Summer. Those movies, over all, are much more lucrative.
One of the reasons that Pauly Shore was able to make as many movies as he did was because they all made money. They only cost about $2 million to make and would bring in $20 million before going to VHS (back in those days).
