  • ohhh it sold lots so it must mean it’s good

    That has never been true at all. Good movies can flop at the box office, and mediocre or outright bad movies can make $1 billion. Your last paragraph is 100% correct. Box office is a measure of popularity, not quality.

    How is what a movie makes matter to the audience?

    It means we will get similar movies like this one, for example.

    When you buy a movie ticket, you are casting your vote for that movie. You’re sending a message to the studio that says, “Yes, we want more films like this.”

    The message to take away here is, if people want to see more original, quality-driven movies (and not endless IP-driven sequels and remakes), then they need to go support them at the cinema.
