It’s definitely a drop in quality. Just look at what is out in movie theaters these days. 90% of the movies are either sequels, marvel movies, or live action remakes of films that were already made. The amount of original storytelling or unique content has dropped rapidly in the past 5 years. As someone who grew up loving going to the movie theater, it makes me so sad, and I rarely go anymore.
Whether you like or hate Barbie or Oppenheimer, they were pretty much some of the only completely brand new high production value movies that came out in the last year, which I believe is part of why they were so popular. People are craving originality, even if a lot of them don’t realize it

A24 is a shining beacon in these dark times. They are pumping out some really weird movies and I love them for it.
They also worked with the unions and were able to continue making films during the strikes.
A24 is truly a diamond in the rough, everything they make is so unique
Were they not acquired by some soul sucking entity this year?
I don’t see that, it looks like they started to expand due to the amount of success they’ve had.
And Barbie is propped up by a billion dollar toy, and Oppenheimer represents a only partially obscured portion of US history.
