Redstreak Posted October 11, 2023 Share Posted October 11, 2023 I can see it, I was shocked when they picked up Hazbin Hotel a couple years ago Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're paying their actors, writers and production crew well, which is how they got an interim agreement with SAG-AFTRA to continue filming stuff. They're probably not making much of a profit. As long as they maintain the quality of their films, I'm all for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gogetonthebus Posted October 11, 2023 Share Posted October 11, 2023 If they snatched something like the rights to Brandon Sanderson's Cosmere, they could have everything from big budget fantasy and sci-fi to smaller horror and stories He's been notoriously picky about selling the rights, and they have a track record of being a good partner for artists. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They had a great reputation Because they need money. If they keep only making weird movies such as Beau is Afraid (which lost them a considerable amount of money btw), they'll go under fast. They need profit in order to have the recourses for more auteur movies. A24 also does not have the benefit of being owned by a company where the performance of the studio won't have much of a impact like others. Plus mainstream doesn't necessarily mean bad.

Capris Groove Posted October 11, 2023 Share Posted October 11, 2023 I'm into it - the more commercial work can pay for the artistic indie films. I'd love a proper reboot of the Alien franchise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EnigmaticAndroid Posted October 11, 2023 Share Posted October 11, 2023 (edited) Mixed feelings. They're a business and need as much money as possible to pay for all of the niche stuff they make, but this could go by the wayside fast. As long as they are able to keep their branding and make mainstream films within the sensibilities they've curated, this could be a great thing.

Let's leave that franchise behind. — OT: Hmm... I like A24 being predominantly an indie studio. If they go for big IPs, I'm sure they'll pivot most of their attention towards that.

QueenBLadyG Posted October 11, 2023 Share Posted October 11, 2023 This is actually quite promising. They can start an era where they "A24" blockbusters and children's films. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
