Ratings- IMDB Budget and Box Office- Wikipedia This proves that musical movies rake up more money than movies that do not have people who break out into songs and dances. But ratings of musical movies are lower than that of non musical movies. So, people may watch musical movies for the fun of it and enjoy it but maybe only as a one time movie and might not think highly of it.
