And how does gross gain make it a "good" movie? I'm not judging on the people who went and saw the movies - Just how intelligent they might be.
I was being glib and just saying that financial gain doesn't account for QUALITY (since we have Scream 2, I Know What You Did, and Anaconda)... That people spend money on Blockbusters and aren't interested in the movies that I considered pretty damn good.
So, maybe 2007 wasn't great for the franchise, but it produced intelligent, different, and interesting movies.

Money doesn't make a movie good but it does get more made. I was agreeing with you that the quality seems to be getting better BUT if they don't make more money then fewer original films will be released and we'll continue to be assaulted with remakes and sequels. I was just throwing some figures out there, the only real question I had was can you, personally, find 10 movies from 07' that were better than those in 97'?
