How YouTube Creators Are Reshaping Hollywood's Box Office
from The Streaming Tech Podcast with Fexingo: Netflix, Spotify, and Media Technology · host Fexingo
This weekend's top two movies were both directed by YouTubers. Lucas and Luna break down how creator-led films are outperforming traditional studio releases, the economics behind the shift, and what it means for streaming platforms like Netflix and Amazon.

We look at specific numbers, including a low-budget horror film that grossed $15 million opening weekend, and discuss why Hollywood is starting to court YouTube talent instead of the other way around.
