I'm less interested in more concert films and far more interested in if some filmmakers might cut out the studios and work directly with theaters. For instance, if this opportunity was offered to George Lucas with the Prequels you better believe he would've done it. He had nothing but contempt for the studios. Along those lines could Francis Ford Coppola doe this with Megalopolis. My dude Frankie Ford paid $120M out of pocket. Could he just go to AMC and make the same deal? I mean, yes, I doubt that Megalopolis will do Taylor Swift business. Still, it will be interesting to watch unfold. https://variety.com/2022/film/news/francis-ford-coppola-funding-120-million-dollars-megalopolis-1235184765/
See, again, this is what I mean when I say she's sui generis: FFC is a huge deal to a very small subset of people. He actually NEEDS the promotional weight of a Universal or a Paramount in a way she clearly doesn't.

Yeah, you’re right. I guess I can see a situation in which nobody will pick up Coppola’s film and he ends up going this route.
