Hollywood does not determine how long a movie stays in theaters based on how good it is. The staying power of a movie is decided based on ticket sales, which is ultimately up to the general public.
I think one reason bad movies do better in theaters than thought provoking films is that most people don't want to have to think about what they are watching. They just want to be entertained. I apply this same theory to the reason crappy pop albums sell better than albums by bands that record songs that actually have some meaning behind them.
