>*defeats Hollywood and saves contemporary American cinema* Why am I supposed to hate a24?
>don't produced rehashed unoriginal garbage slop with infinite remakes because otherwise you might lose the license to some ancient ass dogshit IP>people flock to the theatre to watch your shit, advertisement mostly through word of mouth because you can't spend billions to purchase ads everywherewow... such an unexpected outcome... I'm like at a loss of words guys, truly who could have seen that coming
hollywood defeated itself, a24 is okay
>>220873658>don't producedThey don't produce a whole lot. They're a distributor. They go around to film festivals and bid on movies they get for cheap, they spend a few million on advertising, and release it into the wild. It doesn't even need to make that much money for them to cover their costs, and fund licensing three more cheap ass movies.
>>220873507>is Hollywood in a microcosm and does nothing at all the save American cinemaHearing hollywood insiders talk about how A24 was going to save them from marvelslop made me realize just how doomed hollywood really is. A24 films don't make enough money to keep cinemas open, let alone open new ones, and America lost 50% of it's screens since 2020. But you unironic retards think that if we replace the billion dollar box office marvel films with 50million dollar box office A24 films that's magically going to reverse the trend. It's not that hollywood can't be saved, it's that nobody in hollywood is smart enough to save it.
>>220873766>A24 films don't make enough money to keep cinemas openNot alone. But theaters don't really make money off the box office, its all in concessions and upgrading to the "4D experience." As long as something is putting asses in seats, they're happy. Probably happier since Disney really started fucking over the theater side when last jedi was released, where they demanded more percentage of the box office, demanded more screens, and a commitment to showing it for an even longer window (presumably because they were worried the movie was going to fall off a cliff opening weekend). After that every marvel and disney movie has leaned on the same threat of witholding future releases if the theater doesn't agree to their demands. The reason no one goes to the theater anymore is because there's not a reason to. They've made movies cheap and disposable trash to fill a streaming service, theatrical windows are so short that you might as well just wait to watch it at home for not that much more money than you would spend to go out. Studios went silly by putting all their eggs into tentpole production, and forgot that the whole point of a tent-pole is to hold up a tent, which is filled with all the circus shit people are paying admission for. Mid budget movies made for adults and niche audiences aren't getting picked up and distributed in theaters, and when they are people don't go out to see them because there's no time to market or let word of mouth build when your release window is a week long before its on Amazon.
>>220873764>the movie is cheap, therefor its bad!
>>220873766The people have spoken anon, they don't want your shitty milked boomer franchises anymore. They want vidya movies, they want Ryan Gosling, they want horror.
>>220873977>Ryan GoslingI gotta admit he was good in The Believer (2001)
>>220873937No one said that retard.
>>220873977They don't want anything hollywood has to offer. The most lucrative fanbases have moved on. You're not going to keep the industry alive with A24 slop. And Silicon Valley is licking it's lips, they're going to bust up your unions and outsource content generation to south east asia and eastern europe. Bezos and Cook and Sarandos are all looking at you thinking>You want to be dumb, that works for usWhile they pack teen dramas with pretty white people and product placement.
