You may be about right about actual movie going. You only forgot to mention what percentage of new flicks are totally ignored by you due to word of a mouth or something. As for me... I ignore about %95 of the crap the Hollywood is producing each year. Because of that the percentage ruined by the bad movie is somewhat lower for me.
I see other problems for Hollywood to deal with as well
Sites , which are ranking the movies, like this biggest threat to Hollywood. Every time I plan to see a movie, I check with imdb and yahoo.com to filter out crap like this. On other hand I would miss a lot if I did not go to see Sin City, or The Crash, or Kung Fu Hustle which became my favorites ot 2004-2005.
Movie hopping. When I am going to the local 20-something-plex, I try to watch two movies for the price of one.
Interestingly enough, I never had problems with bad audiences. When choosing my place I tend to sit as far as possible from other people (and as close as possible to the center of the theater). Considering a sad state of affairs in Hollywood, it was very easy to find such a place in almost empty theaters.

There is no gravity when you are falling and missing the ground. It does not matter whether you are falling on Jupiter, or Earth, or Sun.
How much actually useful work was done by this flight? Most of the work seems to be about testing whether $1bln upgrades are worth a damn. If the future flights would require that much work to be able to safely return, no wonder there is a debate on scrapping the shuttle program.
where the observed trajectory of these spacecraft (and a couple others) deviates noticeably from our very precise expectation.
Apparently, Hollywood didn't have very good computers before 1988.

The trick for researchers will be to find ways of getting the life-enhancing results of Klotho while avoiding the drawbacks
I would not call "less fertile" and "predispose people to diabetes" life-enhancing. Life-extending may be, but enhancing?

Unfortunately, given the state of the parenting these days, she probably went home and bawled to daddy and he bought his princess another cell phone.
Bad parenting costs money, I see no problem with that.
Don't blame me. I voted for Kudos.
You cut the percentage of GDP spent on RND and you get less nobel prize winners.
Why do you think spending the GDP at random results in more nobel prize winners?

Yeah, especially considering what it takes to boot up.
But you see, he was not flying, he was falling and missing the ground.
When they say "a number of states", I think the number is close to 1.
I am too amost sure that the number is closer to one than to fifty.
All without mankind's assistance.
That is one of those irrational arguments. You can't be rational without mankind's assistance.
so if you redistribute it, they can track who leaked it.
What if you report to the police that a CD-R with your books was stolen from you? Hell, you may just lose the CD-R without reporting it.
Not if he is printing home porn once a week.

Of course. They use 4 billion flavors of black.
