    There used to be multiple rungs in Hollywood, but now you go from niche movies at Sundance (not even a market) to producing mega budget blockbusters, and that’s not healthy.

    Those rungs still exist, but people usually don’t pay attention to those movies. #A24 used to be on the lower-to-mid-rung level, but now it’s grown in popularity and prominence. But we also have #FocusFeatures, #NEON, #Blumhouse, #SearchlightPictures, #SonyPictures, #UniversalPictures and #Lionsgate all release lower to mid-budget movies as well.

    Some of the best movies of all time were created at those lower rungs.

    They still are. For example, I’d argue the #MagazineDreams is the best movie of the year. It had a budget of $8m.

    I think a lot of these storytellers are trying to do what Joker did – hop into an established franchise and tell the story they want to tell regardless of the franchise. That’s a big problem with an established brand because something that could have been a modestly successful lower tier film ends up pissing off customers who came in with an expectation based on the brand.

    Yes, but I think the most recent superhero movies are eschewing this strategy.
