    Is that what I said? Nope, read it again.

    The general point was the public’s perceived entitlement that their opinion matters in how movies are made, while they are not involved in any of those decisions in reality.

      If people are paying money for movie tickets, they are purchasing a product. Yes, their opinion on a product they paid hard earned money for matters.

      If admission to a movie were free, then I might agree with you. But if people are paying for something, then it’s a product. If anything it’s Hollywood assholes that have a screwed up sense of entitlement in this scenario. It’s just another instance of wealthy people not appreciating the people who buy their products.
