Yep, Shawshank is known for being one of the best movies ever and it was a box office dissapointment

​

Edit: it made 16M in its initial run compared to a $25M budget

If you think that step 2 is a recent development, you're incredibly wrong.

There are millions of things vying for the attention span of every consumer. That includes content made my imbeciles on Tik Tok. It's not like the days when there were three networks and an indie station or two.

Movies were corporatized in the 1980s, as movie studios were absorbed by public companies with stock holders and larger market demands. The true end of the creative era depicted in Babylon.

Now movies are conceived of, and rolled out as, large corporate campaigns.

If you’re interested in reading on this, I’d recommend “The Big Picture” which is a book that follows Sony studios from the late 90’s to mid 2010’s. Touches on exactly what your post is about.

There’s several books with that name. Do you know the author?

Sure do- full title is: “The Big Picture: the fight for the future of movies” and is authored by Ben Fritz

The same that happens when you change from tube amps to transistor amps, or from analog to digital or from good dope to street crap
