The Death of the 'Unreachable' Movie Star
Original: The Death of the “Unreachable” Movie Star
Commentators are weighing in on the decline of the classic, untouchable movie star — the A-lister whose mystique alone could open a film. Writers argue that social media, streaming and franchise-driven blockbusters have replaced star power with brands and IP, making audiences care less about who headlines a movie. The debate reignited as recent releases underperformed despite famous leads.
Why now: Ongoing box-office struggles and the rise of streaming and social media have renewed debate over whether movie stars still sell films.
