If that does happen, we may see the end of the "tent-pole" year and move back to the good cinema year.

If you have more films that will do $80-$100M before ancillary you don't need as many $400M+ properties.

Especially when these properties are costing upwards of $150M. It does have the effect of having people work longer on a film (BTL) but too many films this year were made in other countries or were CGI.

That's perhaps why so many Americans are out of work in Hollywood. Yet another reason why more smaller modern day films should come back.
