What feels “new” (at least to me) is that we no longer have any sort of large gradient between art house films and “turn your brain off and consume” mass market films. In 2023, you’re probably either going out to see a subtitled Korean drama or a paint by numbers Disney film.
Distribution groups like A24 are still carrying the torch, but the mass consolidation of Hollywood really seems to have greatly diminished the variety of bread and circuses available.
