False. Star Wars viewing drove off a cliff when their sequels sucked.

There is a 1-2 sequel movies buffer until the drop off starts when the quality is consistently bad.

the thing is, most people don't. Movie buffs are a minority, the casual viewers flock to what they know, which is exactly why there are only sequels and reboots. It wouldn't be like that if it wasn't making them tons of money.

That doesn’t make anything they said false. What you said just means that quality still matters, eventually.

People like sequels to stuff they liked. When it sucks they will not like it anymore. Brand loyalty is heavily oversold in Hollywood. Which is the real reason why theaters are bombing. It all sucks.
