But selling movies to people who have already seen it for free is more a problem.
So crappy movies will have slower sales, but sales nevertheless, but free movies have no
sales and are a killer to the biz.

That's true... some people can't think of anything to do, so they just do the same thing, over and over for years.
Movies found on the 'net for free, sell fine... everything in release right now, is on a torrent & streaming sites, and the movie continues to sell.
When I was a teen they had a $1 theater, it played old released movies, crappy ones and the rare old-old movie. Now, around where I live, the only thing the theaters have is new releases - nothing old, ever.
I don't know where people go to watch, b/c/d rated movies. Heck, I wouldn't even know what to look for or find them, I never see any advertisements for them. Honestly, how does anyone know what to look for, on a torrent, to find those movies? Unless you're like a super movie buff that likes crap movies...
Basically saying... I don't think crap movies failed because of piracy, I think they failed because... they suck all around - every movie is online, for free old and new. But then again, I'm not a movie buff, at any level - so my view point is sided to what I can see.
