    We’re afraid there might be a recession, so we’re laying off people, gutting pipelines, removing investment in new projects, and cutting funding to everything else. Hopefully doing these things will help us not have a recession.

    Only five of the legacy movie companies still operate as traditional studios and one of those, Paramount, is up for sale.

    Oh, noooooo. I wonder what A24 is up to? Oh yeah, putting out movies that compete with the big 5’s while also working with the union to where they didn’t have to shut down last year. Funny how that works.

    Source? Why is there any reason to think this, as opposed to the simpler reason that two well made movies were deservedly successful?
