And yet A24 exists and continues to find success.
Comment on Martin Scorsese urges filmmakers to fight comic book movie culture: ‘We’ve got to save cinema’
KillAllPoorPeople@lemmy.world 9 months agoIt literally is a zero sum game. Studios dump all their money into these types of movies and there’s no money left over for the “story about the deepest darkest recesses of the human mind.”

A24 has an online cult following, but they struggle at the box office even with wide releases.

disney isn’t the only one funding movies.
your regular $15m arty pantsy black and white movie isn’t paid for the mouse.

You are assuming that if Marvel movies didn’t exist everyone would just go see Requiem for a Dream instead, which is just silly. They target different audiences and the same people could choose to see one today and another tomorrow. It’s not like Oppenheimer was made by a bunch of indies scraping money on Kickstarter.

I’m not assuming anything like that. That’s you putting your ridiculous dichotomic outlook of any subject into someone else’s mouth. There’s a good chance if Requiem for a Dream required a 2023 movie budget, it wouldn’t have even been made. An unknown director/writer with a 2023 budget with a movie like that? Ha. There would have been no option to see that the next day. Also, are you comparing Requiem for a Dream to Oppenheimer?
