Theatrical movies of today are basically for kids and the foreign market. Loud, violent, CGI-laden graphics, with lots of explosions and gore, and limited dialogue, are the big moneymakers and probably will be for a long time; crime and sci-fi are suitable genres for this stuff, so they'll continue to be successful. Mystery movies, with limited violence, lots of exposition, and intricate plots that only people of a certain age (12 and over) are able to follow are a tougher sell for the moviegoing crowds. The theatrical market is only looking for a fast blockbuster; TV is more suitable for anything with an interesting script. All perfectly true, provided you restrict these observations to the USA big studios. Movies for adults are still made in Europe, Russia, China, Japan and South Korea. And of course in the USA by independent makers and directors like Kenneth Lonergan and Todd Haynes.
