Hollywood is down versus last year by a significant amount. Nothing is impossible but it will take a few surprise blockbusters.
I think this shows a growing divide between the expensive Hollywood films, which make a lot of money, and the artistic lower budget films which are made more from quality.
People outside the Hollywood mainstream were the ones making the films that were most compelling. It might be an indication of the growing divide in this business. The big studios are more and more focused on making money and making what sells.
It's mostly Americans voting and to a large extent, they are Southern California people. It's much more a Hollywood crowd and that affects voting.
It should not have been a surprise that these films made so much money. We've seen it before and often times Hollywood forgets that.
