If people went to see them they would make money, if they made money, people in hollywood would be falling over themselves to make them. The fact is. 99% of art house or indie films are complete crap. So no one goes to see them, so they don't make money, which is why people in hollywood don't want to make them.

I think art house and indie films can't get a good run because the majority of film goers seem content with the same old song and dance over and over and over and over again that Hollywood spews out, and they can't be bothered to seek out something different.
I'm not one of those people that says anyone who doesn't like this type of film is an ignorant fool (there are plenty I don't like) but 99% seems a pretty high percentage; I think you're being a little harsh.
