Hear me out as I'm not sure this makes sense outside of my mind.

Do you think trusting audience enthusiasm data that studios track before production and release is a reason why? I would think it skews toward die-hard stans. In this case, the stories production companies write to cater to a known audience rather than better, more fulfilling stories that also may wrinkle stans. Those higher-quality stories may be more likely to fail since the opening week attendance by casuals is more unpredictable.

Am I way off here?
