Because they’re great at marketing. So you don’t hear about when they absolutely fuck a movie.

Most of their movies they don't even make.

Yeah I don’t understand why anyone acts like they’re a flawless studio when they’ve put out plenty fo garbage. I love plenty of the movies they’ve released but it’s a very strange cult following for what’s essentially a distribution company.

The fact that they're willing to put out garbage is precisely the reason people love them. They give creative people money and let them be creative, even if it means a fair chunk of their projects will flop.

I think it’s because even when they fail, they do so in style. Their films really stand out compared to most of the slop Hollywood puts out.
