Other studios will try to come up with other fabricated cult movies, and we will be filled with crappy action flicks. Good cinema is officially dead the moment Sam L Jackson says "There are muthaf**ing snakes on the plane!" and the whole audience cheers.

Snakes on a Plane isn't about good cinema, it's about fun cinema
i would happily pay $9 for a movie that i know is going to be utter nonsense, and just laugh my ass off at the lunacy & just have a good time....when I see it (and yes i will see it) i won't be disappointed because i will be expecting cheesy, stupid & ridiculous...anything less, and i won't care because i wasn't expecting anything anyway. anything more & it's a bonus
Besides, there is a chance that this might be a legitimately good movie. granted, the chance is slim. Really really really really slim. You just won't believe how vastly, hugely, mind-bogglingly slim it is...but it's still a chance. And remember, Alien was originally supposed to be a forgetable, bombing B-rate movie
