360 - Five Night's Box Office Success, Manipulating Criticism and Can Indies Replicate Taylor Swift's AMC Deal? | Indie Talk
Hello, Hello!
This week on The Make It Podcast, Chris and Nick discuss the success of Five Nights at Freddy's and how it was able to capitalize on existing IP in a way that worked. They also analyze Taylor Swift's deal with AMC to distribute her concert film and whether others can replicate her success. Nick provides a culture check on a controversy involving the head of HBO being caught creating fake X (formerly Twitter) accounts to troll critics of its content.
We also talk about:
- Debate around whether people can "cash in" on Taylor Swift's lottery ticket deal or if her level of fame and experience is unique.
- Consideration of whether Troll behavior is commonplace or if the HBO executive was wrong to attempt to manipulate feedback.
- Comments on the importance of artists receiving genuine criticism to improve their work.
Enjoy!
