Internationally, there is a disconnect between cultural media critics and field office numbers.
For instance, both ardent supporters and skeptics have criticized the Star Wars spinoff series. The Force Awakens, the franchise’s first installment, is the second highest-grossing film of all time, and the movie as a whole brings in more than 40 % of the box office revenue for the entire series.
There is no denying that Singapore is home to a large number of skilled artists, including those who have worked on films like Ilo ILO, Pop Aye, 881, and others. None of these movies have had box office success, despite receiving critical acclaim at global celebrations.
Despite all the social media rhetoric, independent films aren’t everyone’s cup of tea. The multi-Oscar-winning Everything Outside All At Once is only the 13th top-grossing movie in Singapore’s box office, narrowly defeating the most recent Indiana Jones movie.
Most viewers watch movies for entertainment or as a way to get away from their experiences. Better is sometimes more ridiculous and great. It frequently takes a lot of work to watch major dramas, especially those that reflect real life.
Oppenheimer’s box office success has demonstrated that people do not have the cravings for them, but that is not to say. Some contend that brand films are losing their charm. You’re also talking figures that typically outperform original films, despite the fact that the most recent Marvel film series, Mission Impossible, and Indiana Jones have frequently performed poorly.
A more somber idea is that consumers of the younger generation no longer value the longer form as much. Quick videos on YouTube and TikTok were the main sources of entertainment for Gen Zs and Gen Alphas as they grew up, and these hardly ever become normal cinema routines. They would occasionally see a movie, but they don’t really want to relax through two hours to learn something new.
