Yes, because... Stars are only one factor in selling a movie is the lesson to be learnt

 

Movie stars are getting more and more dispensable/replaceable. A star can be made just as soon as s/he can fall.

Low-budget means lower pay for big actors but actors need to be onscreen to continue making money which means to survive they'll have to compromise on salaries and be less selective on scripts. Everyone wants to be an actor, the market is getting fairly competitive and big stars always fade with age and time in this business.

The real power is in Production/Direction/now-writing/Companies/Casting-crews/Studios/paparazzi/Tri-star/Pixar/Turner classic/universal studios/Walt Disney and the rest.

 

Fading out does not dismiss the fame/glamour/money aspect of celebrity being the main prominent contributor to viewer choices. Most actors on the flip-side, get serious meaningful acting awards at an old age.

Fame attracts fame

Money attracts money

Directors/producers/studios are also celebrities in their own right.
