As you have no idea of how much it costs to make films why do you post ?
Say we want to make a documentary on Russia 20 years after the fall of Communism, a serous subject, you would need researchers, camera people, sound, director, money for airfares, hotels, meals , editing... for one hour you would need anything from about $300,000. IF YOU BELIEVE IN PAYING PEOPLE AND PEOPLE HAVING A CARE

or you could open source the development like a life in a day

seriously you need to check out the shit that is being produced by the crowd funding community
stop looking at the video store as the begining and the end of everything movies.
it areas like documentaries, social causes and yes STORY driven movies
that stuff out of the crowdfunding space is miles ahead of the shit you see in the theater.
People care, and they don't get noted to death by the suits from the movie studios.

For a feature film, just take one scene out "The Wild Bunch" The Mexican Army is bombarded as hundreds of rebels on horseback attack, the Army cram on to the period Steam Train firing their guns at the attacking hordes....Exploding shells around the train pulls out..
How many "kickstarter" projects to pay just for the train ?
A scene like this could cost $10,000,000. You want the film for free?
You risk destroying a major industry for an industry that gives us a cat playing a piano.
Independant cinema, that you say you like, has been hit much more than Hollywood.

for bigger movies you INNOVATE
we should have 6 spectrum color by now
we should have arthroscopic 3d
movies should have time triggered scents happening with the movie
and true 22 point surround sound
if you had that kind of innovation in the theaters it wouldn't matter if a pirate cammed the movie and gave it away for free. Hell you could even sell the dvd, show it on tv, and give it away for free and people would still want to see it in the theater
BECAUSE THE MOVIE EXPERIENCE WOULD BE SO MUCH BETTER
the problem is the cam is too fucking close to the movie experience
copyright holders have been using the monopoly as a crutch rather then improving technology.
