I worry too about the state of mid-budget character driven movies, but just because the new Wes Anderson movie or Sofia Coppola movie isn't playing in the same theatre as The Mummy or Guardians of the Galaxy doesn't mean its impossible for audiences to find them. If you live in a major city like Los Angeles or New York there is still a vibrant indie movie culture, and venues to see them. Outside of that fans have Netflix and iTunes and Amazon to find these movies as well. Yes, the indie boom of the 90's isn't as out there in theaters, but its still there, its just up to filmmakers and fans of those films to keep it alive.
