This feels like a continuation of the enshitification of everything lately.

This word is losing more and more meaning with every passing day.

Or maybe it’s just becoming more and more prevalent.

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.

So it sounds like this is a profit-driven decision with auteur dramas in general just not being as profitable as action films or films that have some element of action.
Kind of a radical idea, but I always wondered if the movie industry would do better with different pricing models. When people go to the movies nowadays it seems like its just a better deal over all to see something big budget (even though it may not be an especially good storyline). So maybe just so we can get more variety out of it, they price accordingly and see how the market reacts?

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.

I don’t think I’m gonna like this.
