You're curious about how streaming and franchises actually changed Hollywood from the inside, not just the headlines.

Maybe not for you if...

You want a celebrity gossip book or behind-the-scenes drama from sets.
You're looking for a screed against Marvel and franchises without nuance on why they won.
You prefer narrative storytelling over industry analysis and financial detail.

About this book

Ben Fritz examines the transformation of Hollywood in the twenty-first century, exploring both the financial and entertainment dimensions of the film industry. He investigates why adult-oriented films have become scarce while franchises and superhero movies have come to dominate, drawing on interviews with key figures at Disney, Marvel, Netflix, Amazon, Imax, and other major players. Fritz chronicles how the traditional studio model is collapsing and being replaced by new business approaches. While these changes represent a significant disruption to established practices, he argues they mark the beginning of a new era for film. The book presents this emerging landscape through the perspectives of creative figures who are shaping entertainment's future.
