Hollywood Grapples with the Diminishing Future of 'Flops'

Imagine Hollywood is like a toy factory that used to make lots of toys, even some that didn't sell very well.

It was okay because they could try making new toys all the time.

But now, the factory is making fewer toys, and it's harder to try new things.

Plus, a new robot helper called AI might change how toys are made.

This makes everyone worried about what happens when a toy doesn't sell well – the 'flop'.

Before, big bosses helped sell all sorts of toys, but now, even famous toy makers don't get as much help.

So, making toys that aren't super popular or part of a big series is becoming very risky.

People are afraid to make movies that are different because if they aren't a big hit, there's less support to try again.
