The actors probably only need maybe 2-3 weeks of filming instead of 2-3 months.

Might be where I've worked. Plus, with people pirating everything and eventually with other technologies coming into play, it's inevitable the movie theater business itself is going to slide down. Maybe not dramatically, but at one point. And I know ensemble films have been around for awhile, but lately it felt like they have increased in the number. Along with the two I mentioned, New York I Love You and Paris J'Taime have both come out in the past couple of years, and I feel like they are just going to get more and more plentiful as time goes on.

Hasn't movie theater attendance gone up the last few years? Didn't we just break the domestic box office record a few weeks ago? As for ensemble films with name actors, they've always been around. From 1932's Grand Hotel to 1999's (underrated) 200 Cigarettes. Mountain out of a molehill. “….in an attempt to grab at what’s left of the theater-going public”
