B. Franchises and Intellectual Property (IP) Risk Aversion In an era of extreme competition, major studios are relying heavily on established IP (e.g., Marvel, Star Wars, reboots) to guarantee audience turnout. Original scripts are increasingly rare at the top budget levels, replaced by sequels, prequels, and cinematic universes. Algorithms on platforms like YouTube and TikTok analyze
C. Globalization and Cross-Cultural Pollination Streaming platforms have dissolved geographic borders.
