It’s amazing to this same article posted on Reddit where the bots descend to make a massively toxic pile where nobody liked the movie even though it was a massive success. It’s a great movie too with great music
It was a really well done movie, interweaving a main story with interesting characters, interweaving time periods, an homage to blues and some blue’s heroes, and at the heart lies a classic horror genre made fresh. This one took me by surprise. I plan on watching it a second time, just to recapture its essence again.
Now with that said, did it really rescue the film industry? I say no. One great one amongst a flow of mediocre movies you would wait and see at home, does not save the day or the movie theaters.

It’s supporting evidence for the argument that spending money on a quality original concept vs a lazy sequel/prequel/reboot is a worthwhile investment that gets people back in cinemas. No single film is going to save the entire industry, but when films like this do well it gives filmmakers something to point to when they are pitching ideas.
I agree with your point about it inspiring …better film making and originality, that is sorely needed. However, to see a film doesn’t mean getting back into the theater, especially since theaters started dying/declining even before COVID, dating back in the early 2000’s. Great films aren’t going to save movie houses. Streaming took away all the downsides of seeing a film; cost, audience annoyances, bad food and travel time to see one. They will still be around, like drive-in theaters were for film buffs and nostalgia.
