Feels like the beginning of the end, doesn't it. Interesting original content will have to give way for commercial mainstream appeal.

I agree. I love A24 for the independent movies. Movies that would’ve never gotten a chance anywhere else.

At the very least, it could tarnish the A24 brand and end up like Blumhouse, producing these “legacy sequels” to movies that didn’t really need a (another) sequel to begin with.

It feels like A24 is deploying the same singles and doubles strategy that Eisner is deploying when he took over Disney.

Small movies can take creative risks, but they are at the size where their movies can start to compete beyond art house theaters.
