What is the fascination with Box Office take?

I'm not criticizing anyone because I do it too, just wondering in general.

I've made it very clear that my opinion has always been that just because a movie makes a lot of money doesnt mean it was any good.

The quality of a film and the amount of money it brings in are often, in my opinion, completely uncorrelated.

Obviously sometimes they are connected, if a movie is good more people will be inspired to go see it, etc. and we can pick tons of examples.

But at the end of the day why is it that people focus so much on Box Office?
