What we are saying here is that Twitter enables the movies that people truly enjoy to truly rise to the top and drive audiences to the seats quicker. In the past, a huge movie star and big marketing budget was a lot more influential in determining what movies would succeed at the box office. Sean, agree completely.

If you make something of high quality, people will support and enjoy it. Conversely, just because a work is unpopular, does not mean it is not of quality or worthy of support. Twitter isn't swaying these films successes or failures. It's just allowing a more rapid report from the audience's opinions of the films. Twitter isn't a jaded critic, whose report can make or break a reputation.
