The New York-based cultural and current affairs magazine Vanity Fair described 2023 as “The year that broke Hollywood” as the industry struggled with strikes, sackings and shrunken budgets. It said the American film business “has lost its sense of direction.” The problem lies in product quality. A lack of originality and too much reliance on sequels, superheroes and remakes, leaves audiences bored. US movie producers are renowned for focusing on the bottom line, often to the detriment of quality, as they will play it safe with familiar genres and not take risks to explore the new. This obsession with commercial success may have blinded them to the fact that, in what used to be one of their biggest markets, their products have lost their appeal.
