Seriously. Plenty of original stories out there. Looking at laaf year’s Oscar nominees for Best Picture, there were a ton of interesting new stories being told. This year, Barbie and Killers of the Flower Moon are probably gonna get a ton of nominations. And Oppenheimer, which I was generally just OK with, but still doesn’t fit the criticisms in this thread. I’ve heard great things about some of the other likely nominees, but haven’t personally seen them.
And maybe Spiderverse or Barbie are technically established IPs, but they also show that there can be good movies told using existing IPs.
Looking solely at box office, you’ll still see that there’s interesting risk taking going on. A24 obviously deserves credit for making interesting, risky stuff.
