The recommendation seems resonable but the director has not cogently explained and the following questions need to considered and answered before moving forward with the given recommendation.

The director has come to this conclusion solely on the basis of recent report from marketing department and since this report is the starting point so the authenticity of report should be confirmed i.e. if the marketing department has made any mistake or not.

Secondly, the director says that fewer people attended the movies. The exact percent of decrease needs to considered and if the decrease is significant or not. It is premature to move forward with this recommendation if the decrease is not significant for example. 0.01%. Similarly, director says that there has been increase in the percentage of positive views, the exact percent of increase needs to taken into account.

The director believes that content of the reviews are not reaching to prospective viewers but it is possible that the viewers are aware of the movies but they now have some other source of entertainment that they did not have in the previous years.
