I think it really is as simple as anything else in America. Greed. Studio heads don't want to take any kind of risk on anything but a tried and true formula. New and interesting concepts and films rarely see the light of day because they are not guaranteed a fortune. Sadly, everything in the US has become about the bottom line only. Until the fall of this empire, I see a steady decline in quality until we end up like Mike Judge's "Idiocracy".
The really twisted part is that, statistically, movie lovers make up the majority of ticket sales. However, we are often not catered to enough. The problem is that we go to the movies even if we aren't sure about a movie because we love movies. Studios know that and are focusing their efforts toward getting the rest of the general public into the theater (hence the existence of the Big Momma's House Trilogy).
Reading these posts has gotten me riled up, man. I am going to make an effort this year to skip any movies that even have a whiff of studio cheese.
