Reply to comment by HauntedHovel in (TW: DV) What is with all the super popular contemporary novels featuring violence against women? by travelling_cirque
Yep. And it’s worth noting that all the novels listed by OP are written by women.
If this theme seems more prominent today than previously then perhaps it’s because the novels that get attention today are more likely to be written by women than those that were written in (say) the 1950s. But this has long been a notable theme in literature. I believe it’s fair to say that all three Brontë sisters wrote about domestic violence.

Reply to Hypothetically… If you were to create a film studio that rivals Disney/Paramount/WB etc. how would you do it? by AMAROK300
You would find someone with the filmmaker prominence of Spielberg, the industry prominence of Katzenberg and Geffen and raise billions from banks. So team up Nolan with Bob Iger and say Charles King.
Even then you’ll probably just be successful enough to sell it off to a bigger studio, as happened with Dreamworks SKG.
The other thing to keep in mind is TV is as or more important than film these days.
A24 is the wrong comparison because it’s a speciality brand. Even when they make poppy movies it’s still aimed with a certain type of film audience in mind.
