No real art house films you would think are aimed at the top 12. It was somewhat arbitrary that I used rotten tomatoes, but it's also interesting measure because a lot of the "better" Arty films don't score highest in rotton tomatoes because there will generally be debate about them even among critics, not everyone will like them. It takes a relatively more harmless movie that *nobody* dislikes to score a 100 in the tomatoe rating. it could just be a coincidence that this weekend's data showed a negative correlation between revenues and reviews. One would hope that a proper study would show more balanced results but who knows... These are only the top 12 movies so we really are still only talking about the very short end of the tail.

The business side of things and the art side of things. A movie that is good business is usually not art, and a movie that is art is usually not good business. BTW, registering to comment is a real pain... Tom,
