A New York Times article questioned Friday why audiences don't flock to see "highbrow" Oscar-oriented films in theaters, suggesting these movies' "depressing" content could be one reason.

Despite audiences returning to theaters after the

COVID-19 pandemic, certain Oscar buzz films are still losing millions at the box office.

The Times spoke to film critics and production studios to see why that is. Answers varied, with some blaming streaming services and others claiming that box office

Ask 10 different specialty film executives to explain the box office and you will get 10 different answers," Times reporter Brooks Barnes wrote. However, one film historian suggested the heavy social messages
