Her decision may prove to be largely symbolic: She is expected to continue to caucus with the Democrats, as do two other independent senators, Bernie Sanders of Vermont and Angus King of Maine. But her willingness to distance herself from the party is still likely to complicate Democratic efforts in the Senate going forward. The larger practical effect is that Sinema will no longer have to face a Democratic primary challenge in 2024, which had been widely anticipated.

Highbrow films can win Oscars, but they aren’t winning over audiences in theaters. The kind of critically praised dramas that often dominate the awards season have, in recent years, [mostly fallen flat at the box office](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRldkMWP0TpaHR0cHM6Ly93d3cubnl0aW1lcy5jb20vMjAyMi8xMi8wOS9idXNpbmVzcy9tZWRpYS9vc2NhcnMtZmlsbXMtYm94LW9mZmljZS5odG1sP2NhbXBhaWduX2lkPTU3JmVtYz1lZGl0X25lXzIwMjIxMjA5Jmluc3RhbmNlX2lkPTc5ODM2Jm5sPWV2ZW5pbmctYnJpZWZpbmcmcmVnaV9pZD03NzY3NDk1MiZzZWdtZW50X2lkPTExNTU4NiZ0ZT0xJnVzZXJfaWQ9YWE0OTFlZjdmMWQ5NjRlNDk3OWZiNzg0ZTc0ZTAxZDdXA255dEIKY5AWvpNjvFFj2FIbdHJpc3RyYW1iYWxkd2luOTBAZ21haWwuY29tWAQAAAAA). Some critics blame the pandemic, while others blame the content: Superhero sequels provide more of an escape. Studios are struggling to justify the money it takes to make prestige movies. For example, “Armageddon Time,” which cost roughly $30 million to make, collected $1.9 million at the box office, and “Tár,” costing at least $35 million, brought in $5.3 million. The problem with those movies is not quality — reviews have been exceptional. Rather, “people have grown comfortable watching these movies at home,” one film consultant said.
