There's no incentive to do any better as long as you have paying customers.
I know. I've said it numerous times.

Money =/= Good

I do not consider 'Box Office Gross' to be an indicator of quality.

What it is, is an indicator of trends. So yeah, if they can trot out some garbage and make a Billion bucks what on Earth would be their incentive to change that formula at all much less 'improve?'

"Hey! People paid us a Billion Dollars for this trash!"

- "Make 10 more!"

Its basically Adam Sandler's career and financial plan in a nutshell.

"Sell people what they're willing to pay for."

It doesnt mean I have to like it though.
