Description: Box office and film economics in general is a very complicated subject, I couldn't possiby cover everything even in a 12 minute video, but I think this serves to inform on the basics of box office and why we see independant or creative films suffer. The scene in Hollywood has changed. Ever since the financial crisis of 2008 things have shifted towards increasingly skyrocketing budgets, movies that present a massive spectacle with all of Hollywood's biggest stars attached. While many thoughtful and insightful films are still made today, they seem to be an endangered species. This video examines the release of one of these films, "Synecdoche, New York" in particular, how it failed at the box office, and why it happened, and how we, as movie goers, have all the power to change the way Hollywood thinks.
