You can't reasonably assume that less popular movies weren't made with intend to make profit. Self-funded art, perhaps, but movies made in Hollywood?That doesn't really apply to fringe, independent and non-MSM media, however. I mean, if your goal is to be some super-famous uber-rich person, yeah sure. But if you don't give a shit and would be happy with moderate to medium-low recognition (in other words, just enough to make a living off of) then you have no excuse.
