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.

TheImpressiveX@lemm.eeto Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•"With all due respect" could imply that no respect is due and therefore none is givenEnglish70·1 month agoThat’s usually what people mean when they say that sarcastically.
When $USER had thus said, he was troubled in spirit, and testified, and said, Verily, verily, I say unto you, that one of you shall betray me. Then the peripherals looked one on another, doubting of whom he spake.
