I think there is also an element of inaccessibility when it comes to lower budget films. Local cinemas are often dominated by long runs of the big budget action films, which can make it difficult for audiences to watch anything else. Given how badly the cinema industry is struggling, it would be in their best interests to create space for a greater variety of films or organise special "one night only" screening events. My local cinema takes part in a lot of film festivals and also runs a classic film club and special re-screenings of older films - these events always seem to attract significantly larger crowds and bring in a lot of extra revenue for them.
While walking my dog I had one of those shower thoughts: medium budget and indie film plotlines have moved over to prestige tv shows.
