Exorbitant profits for film companies while the working conditions of actors and crew remain poor is a major issue that needs to be addressed.

Concerned about the portrayal of specific groups in these films, particularly minorities and women.

Instead of blindly celebrating the numbers, we should analyze the factors driving them, like the lack of alternative entertainment options during the holiday.

Ticket prices are outrageous! I'd rather wait for these movies to be released on streaming platforms.
