Studios are terrified of the middle budget. Why gamble $40 million on a rom-com starring two new actors when you can spend $200 million on a cinematic universe where a superhero fights a giant purple guy?

So, go ahead. Watch that weird documentary. Skip the Marvel movie if you’re tired. Listen to that obscure hyperpop album. The algorithm is watching. And honestly?
