"What's going on with movies these days? Every time you hear the old "people don't want to go to movie theaters anymore" line, it seems a Moana 2 shows up to knock those naysayers back down in their seats (reclining theater seats, probably), as that Disney sequel has already crossed the $700 million mark in just its third week of release. No, people are still going to the movies…
That said, the types of movies that are being made – and released theatrically at least, as opposed to going straight to streaming or digital – have definitely changed. It's nothing new to say that the more mid-budgeted films like straight dramas or comedies have a harder time getting screen time in the current theatrical landscape, since, well, Moana 2 is probably taking up all of those screens. And showtimes."
