MOVIES THAT BROKE HOLLYWOOD
Hollywood in 2024 can be defined as a largely risk averse industry. In the upcoming Movies that Broke Hollywood series, Calgary Cinematheque will take audiences back to a time where that was not the case. After Steven Spielberg broke the industry open with Jaws in 1975, the next 5 years in American filmmaking were defined by massive financial successes, often driven by an auteur in the director’s chair. Join us as we reassess Movies that Broke Hollywood.
