Correct.
Same as the music business.
It’s all about movies that will make a billion dollars at the box office and a singer/speaker+autotune who will be in the top 1% of spotify streams.
The music business changed after Woodstock. They realized a half a million people would turn out for a show. They stopped booking 2 shows by a touring band in a concert hall and went to booking bigger shows in sports stadiums/arenas/halls. What followed in the 70s was known as “corporate rock”.
“Same as the music business.”
Used be to be a tour musician. I did OK until I aged out but there is no industry with greater income inequality than the entertainment business.

Frank Zappa nailed it here.
