Jesus movies have a built in audience. Mel Gibson's "Passion of the Christ" raked in so much dough guy still lives in Malibu post anti-Semite rants. Look at all those Christian born-again movies. Kirk Cameron could pay to reshoot "Growing Pains" over again with a Christian theme and leverage the remaining cast to come aboard with the dough he's made on those "Left Behind" movies. Religion aside...fuckin Clint Eastwood's "Sully" exceeded anyone's expectation and blew away the box office going over 100 mil already. Yes...his dumb...didn't we see this already in "Flight" movie. Also the guy who supports Trump. Or hates Hillary. Who knows. But you can bet anything that guy wants Warner Bros. gives him. I love Clint. Seems to be really the man of the people. And would've made a nice president...pre-Clinton. Two Bushes were too much. I don't think Middle East would've fucked with us if they knew Dirty Harry was in office. Not because they think he is that character...but I think they'd want to see more movies from him post-presidency. We're all movie fans.
It may be the country is sick of Hollywood deviancy. Sick of Kardashian being famous for doing nothing. Sick of entitlement. Sick of immoral values. The money shows you the trend. And...domestically anyway...loves its heroes to have a strong pious code. It feels as if we're shifting back to a 1980's.sensibility. We're sick of worrying about who hates us. I'm certain people are starting to wean off internet anger. If movies that we pay to see reflects America, it's slowly creeping away from serial killing anger. Leaning more towards banding together to fight a common enemy.
