I don’t think I’m gonna like this.
Feels like the beginning of the end, doesn’t it. Interesting original content will have to give way for commercial mainstream appeal.
I agree. I love A24 for the independent movies. Movies that would’ve never gotten a chance anywhere else.
At the very least, it could tarnish the A24 brand and end up like Blumhouse, producing these “legacy sequels” to movies that didn’t really need a (another) sequel to begin with.
It feels like A24 is deploying the same singles and doubles strategy that Eisner is deploying when he took over Disney.
Small movies can take creative risks, but they are at the size where their movies can start to compete beyond art house theaters.
💯
Fuck. I mean, let’s wait and see, but def doesn’t sound good from here.
Not sure how I feel about this. But I think we’d be mistaken if we assume that A24 movies are so good just because they’re arthouse films.
Of course, arthouse does not automatically equal good. They’re good movies because they’re good ideas from people with a vision, and A24 gave these people funding and a platform for their vision, (seemingly) without asking them to make compromises for the sake of profit. This new strategy could take that away.
People will always find ways to make their arthouse movies. The difference is A24 made them easy to find and arguably popular.
Boo!
Who can blame a sell-out, right?
On one hand, I’m a little sad, on the other hand, I’m interested if they do it differently. Time will tell.
Makes sense, have to fund it somehow.
