It’s true that (to pick on just three of those twenty-five movies) After the Hunt, Christy, and Good Fortune all featured well-known stars; all touched on different genres; and all bombed. The reasons for these failures are myriad, and my goal here is not to litigate why this has happened or state precisely how many days should elapse between a film’s debut in theaters and its first appearance on digital rental shelves.1 My goal, instead, is to lament the public’s response. Because that response has been a collective shrug.
