Studio Mergers Shrinking Movie Variety
Update: 2025-12-10
Description
New research reveals that major studio mergers, like Disneys acquisition of Twentieth Century Fox, lead to a significant drop in the number of films released in theaters, by approximately forty-three percent. This trend impacts not only the top twenty films but also the next eighty movies, which have seen their box office numbers fall three times more than the top twenty since the pandemic. Industry experts emphasize the need for strong marketing and sufficient theater time for these smaller and medium-sized films to find their audience. The concern is that a focus solely on blockbusters could lead to an unsustainable film industry, highlighting the importance of a diverse range of films for the health of the entire movie ecosystem. The conversation continues on how studios and exhibitors can collaborate to ensure a vibrant and varied selection of films remains available.
