Because the hallmark of a profitable film is the premise? Can't put the ending in the trailer...

I'm talking about incentives. If the scripts with strong premises get made, and the ones with strong endings don't, that's presumably what screenwriters will focus on.

You're conflating a lot of things write now. Just because people are sloppily jumping at premises, doesn't mean they're not looking for cohesion. Trust me, when you have a pitch that nails the ending, you can sell that fucker just as right quick.

It was just a hypothesis. It's not my industry. If it is the cause, you should see more strong endings in less financially risky media like novels, short stories, comic books, etc. Also more in indie movies than blockbusters. Not sure if this is the case.

Also the freedom to make things that are really, really bad. Most people end up seeing the one or two indies that "rise above" - the vast majority that go to festivals don't get picked up and are often quite bad. Freedom does not equal genius. Storytelling is hard as fuck.
