Although if you stretch yourself thin enough in the long tail (lots of hit indie films) I still thing there is success to be had.

They just over-complicated themselves with dumb charts and now they've figured out that the world has always been round. nothing is certain in the world.

everything BIG is not a hit

BIG budget + tons of buzz does not equal Big ROI

if you don’t pay attention to the “little” details you’re toast.

there’s nothing new in this study. They just over-complicated themselves with dumb charts and now they’ve figured out that the world has always been round.
