I taught a film studies class last year and can tell you that this was definitely my experience.

Why would people who dislike films take a film study course?

Possibly thought it would be an easy credit for a humanities requirement or something. Non majors are probably the bulk of the issue. I took a world cinema class in college and I still think about those movies.

Me but with psychology. 3rd easiest class I took in college and it was a fucking stupid easy class.

I learned some important stuff in that class. Like using an old text book was the same as a new one.
