Some filmmakers still want a classic Hollywood studio
summary
Fox claims it still wins indie deals at Sundance, citing Step and Patti Cake$ acquired for less than streaming rivals because of a “curated, hand‑carried” marketing play; the studio builds hybrid films using techniques from Avatar and Jungle Book — heavy previs and motion‑capture workflows — and runs VR labs that produced Martian VR and Planet of the Apes VR; hits now do 90–95% of box office in three to four weeks, so theatrical windows and experiential marketing remain central.
