Implosions!

Supposedly Lucas and Speilberg came out this previous week saying that the film industry was on the verge of imploding, something about if enough mega-blockbusters don't profit in a year the industry could suffer on some catostrophic level.  They also discussed how much harder it is for even them, the fathers of the modern blockbuster, to get their films in theatres (Spielberg said Lincoln, regardless of its pedigree, was this close to being on HBO).
Now, I'm no number cruncher, but I do have enough outside-looking-in-via-the-internet knowledge to know that the film industry has become, more and more, a big business being run by big business people who think in big business terms.  Like any business it's about what can turn a profit and at this point in time it's the safety of the remake, reboot and the sequel that appeals to the bankrollers.  Heck, my whole blog (and my pipedream for a subsequent podcast) was inspired by the amount of remakes coming out over the past few years.
One thing I will not discuss, mainly doe to my ignorance, is the growth of crowdfunding and the like to put the production in the hands of the people.  It's too young to determine success/failure, or abuse of the fandom out there.  But hey if you want to send cash in an envelope for me to jumpstart my podcast my addres is .....
As usual I seem to have gone off on a tangent.
Look, I'm not arguing againt the comments of the producer and director of the Greatest Movie Ever Made Ever! (Raiders of the Lost Ark 1981), but I do think that there are good movies out there that aren't blockbusters and will not be regulated to being seen between Game of Thrones and the repeat of the episode of Game of Thrones.  You may have to wade through a sea of cookie cutter safe bets, but they will be there and you will get to see them in their natural habitat, a real movie theatre.
You'll have to vote with your wallet and with your feet.  They do track how many seats get filled in a theatre on top of overall box office.  For example, a couple of friends and I saw "This Is The End"(article on that later this week), certainly not a cookie cutter mega-blockbuster reboot, yesterday at 11 am, and the theatre was nicely filled to the point where we didn't have great seats.  If your nearest theatre isn't offering anything beyond only the biggest movies, go to the next one, but go now and don't say "I'll wait until its on demand".  If you wait the abacus readers will label a good film a failure and you will get stuck with sure things.  Look I hate a crowded, phone lit theatre full of idjits who wont stop talking/texting, but I still go, I just got smart enough to find matinees to coincide with a breakfast and a movie outing, and I am still contributing box office receipts to a movie that deserves it.
And I'm lazy, so if I'm finding a way to support the movies, anyone can. 
I'm not sure if this post made any sense, but I'm rusty, it been over a year you know.
