Hollywood Just Discovered Civic Cinema — and the Market Is Voting

Desk note — Monexus framed this as a structural market story (distribution and audience reallocation) rather than a partisan-culture-war piece, which is the angle most entertainment trades will lead with. Both reads are defensible; this publication chose the one that treats audiences as consumers with preferences rather than as proxies for a political coalition.
