VIDEO : Scorsese Slams Influence Of Box Office

Celebrity in this news:

Legendary director Martin Scorsese has bemoaned the obsession with box office figures in the movie business. In an essay for the Hollywood Reporter, Scorsese hits out at "research firms like Cinemascore" and "aggregators" like Rotten Tomatoes, claiming they have clouded the thinking of movie fans. In part, he wrote: "The brutal judgmentalism that has made opening weekend grosses into a bloodthirsty spectator sport seems to have encouraged an even more brutal approach to film reviewing." Scorsese also showed his support for Darren Aronofsky's film 'mother!', which recently took the brunt of bad Cinemascores, poor Rotten Tomatoes scores, and failure at the box office.
