With the piracy running rampant the box office doesn't seem to be doing all that bad either

Movies are still making millions per day. We built up the culture of movie celebs earning millions per movie, time for the bubble to burst and to start to fucking innovate. Instead of superstars getting paid millions per movie perhaps they should suck it up and get paid something more reasonable. Which will still be $100+/hour.

Dinosaurs die. Too bad. I don't feel bad for MGM going broke at all.
