Beyond the major distributors, specific production houses have become "brands" themselves by focusing on high-quality, original content:

Not all rely on explosions and superheroes. Some have built their reputations on the slow burn of character drama.

The production of standalone, original IP has declined precipitously. Between 2010 and 2020, the number of top-10 box office films that were sequels, reboots, or franchise entries rose from 60% to 90% (PwC, 2021). Studios favor productions with built-in audiences.

By contrast, original mid-budget dramas (e.g., The Last Duel ) are increasingly relegated to acquisition labels or straight-to-streaming release with minimal marketing.
