These days Hollywood seems to only release low budget indie films and high budget blockbusters, but where are those high concept character driven mid budget films? Films like The Truman Show, Fight Club, Rain Man and Eyes Wide Shut. The industry is run by money and have since phased out these kinds of films for safer profits with all the superhero films, reboots, remakes and other franchises.
In this video we explore if mid budget films are actually gone (Everything Everywhere All At Once, The Menu, Asteroid City), why are there less of them being made (evolving industry, physical media, streaming wars, TikTok affecting consuming behaviour) and if they will ever come back (streaming losses and blockbuster flops).
