because that was the 40s, 50s, and 60s. There was music and someone singing in almost everything then... but so many people make fun of that now. Until Chicago, musicals hadn't won Academy awards for decades... they just wouldn't be popular and wouldn't make any money. There's the occasional musical now, but we'll never go back to before.

It;s all about profit.Today's movies mainly cater for young people whose taste for movies are usually predictable.To make a musical similar in style to that period that would sell today would cost an enormous amount of money(e.g. WEST SIDE STORY cost about eight million dollars to make back in 1961. If it was made today it would cost more than three hundred million .) Movie studios would not gamble on that because people today may not go to see it.

Unless they were to make a musical with nudity and violence it really would interest the "american people". I personally love musicals and wish they would make more, but in our society its not "cool".
