    Movies are made by a lot of people.

    Many people pouring time, effort, and creativity into a difficult art form.

    You really think any of the people who actually made the movie had a say in the decision to shelf it?

      Those people were paid for their efforts. Sure it might be disappointing for that effort to not see the light it day, but at the same time I’ll bet many are relieved their name won’t be attached to a poor product.

      No, of course not.

      If I commission an artist to make me a painting, and I then decide to throw it in a storage bin (or the trash) rather than put it in a gallery - that’s my decision. Neither the artist or the general public gets a say in it. Claiming otherwise (especially in case of the public) is pure entitlement.

        The artist would still be able to display it, even if just a high quality scan of an original.

        If you commission the artist to make you a painting, with some portion of the price being a cut of the revenue generated by displaying the painting, you absolutely should not be permitted to just throw it in the trash.

        There should be an inherent obligation to make a good faith effort to make the revenue you’re required to share.
