1. The Big Picture
The Fight for the Future of Movies
A reporting-driven look at how Hollywood's economics and corporate priorities remade the film industry, shifting power toward franchises, data-driven decisions, and streaming platforms while squeezing out mid-budget, director-driven movies; it follows studio executives, filmmakers, and new entrants to show how changing business models, risk aversion, and technology reshaped what kinds of films get made, who profits, and what audiences see.
