This Variety article will hopefully inspire anyone aspiring to make one of “the movies that grease the wheels of the theatrical experience: the friendly bread-and-butter formula films for adults that audiences can depend on, that can keep them hooked on the act of moviegoing.” That’s what the author means by a “mediocre” movie.
Maybe not the best adjective to use, but I think it’s a great perspective that will hopefully come to pass. If your project is something other than a CGI animation, SFX epic, or reboots, I for one would love to see it on the big screen. Anyone else?
