Consider the most successful studio of the past decade: Disney. Its production strategy is a masterclass in vertical integration. A single idea—say, a Marvel superhero—is not just a film. It is a theme park ride, a Disney+ series, a line of toys, a video game, and a soundtrack.

This is the "cinematic universe," a studio’s ultimate invention—a narrative that never ends, like a soap opera with a $200 million budget per episode.

In the end, popular entertainment studios are the cathedrals of our secular age. They are massive, slow to change, prone to corruption, and obsessed with power.

The production is merely the seed; the audience, now an unpaid marketing department, grows the forest. Consider the most successful studio of the past
