So basically in the ~~distant future year of~~ year 2000 movies mostly had it all?
Like fast food (chains) - products topped with sugar, fats, and salt, so there is no need for actual quality?

I'd argue that it's more that pornography is easily accessible and there's simply not a need or market to titillate audiences like that. You're just alienating potential audience members who might have gone to see it with their kids, because obviously it's okay that they see a city destroyed or people shot in the head fifty times, but who won't buy a ticket because somebody is briefly showing boob.
I'm curious about what, exactly, counts as violence and drugs for this graph though. Is it extreme gore? Any violence at all? Any weed use at all? Drinking?
Pornography with good acting is not.
I know that it's a joke about it having a plot and all, but I'm personally not very interested in just looking at videos of all the orifices being methodically used as if it's a factory mechanism during maintenance, unless the woman is very beautiful. But even then the effect from beauty is orders of magnitude less than if there were some real plot and acting.
There are gradations of taste, ya knaw,

Interesting, I thought I noticed this trend but never saw it quantified. I guess the public sentiment changed around '05 about sex in movies. Might be they just get it from pornhub now instead.
They NEVER add to the story. Sex scenes are what perverted assholes like Harvey Weinstein wanted.
Counter point the orgy in Caligula. Or atleast that one is simply historically accurate, actually I think they may have toned it down.
