The thing I find crazy is that in 2017 $20M movies with B-list names are getting picked up as "independent". Ridley Scott's name shows up on IFC movies now; It Follows had an excellent ROI compared to most "blockbuster"; Get Out was a sold-out hit with audiences and critics... but it's all just a blip compared to the latest Transformers or DC or Marvel franchise shit-show.

A few millenia from now archaelogists and historians will be pontificating about Hollywood the way we do about the Pyramids.

Get Out: 252.4 million USD. Not a blip. Break $100M and they're paying attention.
