So it sounds like this is a profit-driven decision with auteur dramas in general just not being as profitable as action films or films that have some element of action.
Kind of a radical idea, but I always wondered if the movie industry would do better with different pricing models. When people go to the movies nowadays it seems like its just a better deal over all to see something big budget (even though it may not be an especially good storyline). So maybe just so we can get more variety out of it, they price accordingly and see how the market reacts?
