You're totally right about mass-market entertainment, but none of that is true for art, and unfortunately, people like you going to the movie theaters to watch Fast and Furious 46 is what subsidizes an industry of people who actually care, trying to make beautiful art for people that aren't trying to OD on visual Xanax in the comfort of their blankey.

I sincerely doubt any of the blockbuster money is spent making art (beyond perhaps paintings to outfit their offices)

Art gets made by artists, out of necessity, not because of a paycheck.
