Part 9/10:
The grim reality for Hollywood in 2025 implies that the industry must fundamentally rethink its approach. Wasteful spending on enormous budgets and sprawling marketing campaigns may no longer be sustainable or effective. Instead, creating compelling content that appeals to a broader, more diverse audience could be the way forward.
The industry’s current crisis is also a reminder that audiences want to earn their entertainment—films need to offer genuine excitement, originality, and cultural relevance. Studios are encouraged to drop the over-reliance on political allegories, quick streaming releases, and excessive marketing spends in favor of producing movies that are worth the ticket, both creatively and economically.
