Tribeca Films acquires 'Serious People' comedy

Anime's growth at the domestic box office over the past decade has been extraordinary, and it's not because more anime films are being released in theaters. Ten years ago, somewhere between $1 million and $2 million at the domestic box office was the benchmark. Now we're seeing $20 million for the average anime film—about in line with a drama or a dark comedy from an studio specialty division. https://lnkd.in/gQZtawrg

Planet Hong Kong: Popular Cinema and the Art of Entertainment (2000) is David Bordwell's love letter to the Hong Kong film industry. The book provides a comprehensive study of Hong Kong cinema, arguing for its artistic merit despite its commercial, mass-market roots. Bordwell explores the industry's unique craft traditions, production methods (like episodic plotting and segment shooting), and generic conventions of the Hong Kong film industry - spanning from kung fu, swordplay, gangster, and urban comedy genres - that enable filmmakers to produce works that are both hugely popular and aesthetically rich.

I lived through the collapse of the indie film middle class. There was a time when $400K could buy you a career — Napoleon Dynamite, El Mariachi, Clerks. That world is gone. Micro-budgets can survive because they’re cheap. Studio projects can survive because they have stars. But the $400K film? It’s the dead zone — too big to be scrappy, too small to compete. And that’s killing the future of new voices in cinema. #Hoorah99 #FilmIndustry #IndependentCinema #CreativeRebellion #FilmEconomics
