In response to "at half or less the annual output before it became IP or bust. “only hit grand slams” is a dumb way to run a theatrical division -- nm" by mr mooch

Then #17, "Migration", and #19, "Civil War".

This week's original IP, "Trap".

Studios do what makes them money. "Make money for our stakeholders" is the only mandate of a publicly held company.

It's not that original IP isn't profitable, but 0 movies in the top 10 and 4 movies in the top 20 suggests that maybe they need to look elsewhere.

Responses:

it’s weird that the stuff that made studios money before “IP” was their god was a healthy mix of originals and adaptations -- nm - mr mooch Aug 4, 11:28 2
- I wonder how much they lack the ability to control costs on the original stuff anymore...like, not counting the A24 stuff, what's the baseline budget - Will Hunting Aug 4, 11:33 1
  - it’s the marketing they don’t want to pay for in the mid-range -- nm - mr mooch Aug 4, 11:38
