Do you seriously believe that a $200 million movie is ten times better than a $20 million movie? Or a hundred times better than a $2 million movie??

It surely takes less time to see than on hundred $2 million movies. I'd much rather watch one good movie than 10 decent ones. Not that movie budget has anything to do with quality, but still.
Exactly this. A big budget is not required for a movie to be good. Even dramatic special effects no longer need megabucks.

Good writing, good acting, good cinematography, are all pretty cheap, relatively speaking.

No, but it might be over 10 times more profitable than a $20 million movie, or over 100 times more profitable than a $2 million movie. Big budget movies have a greater potential RoR.
