Deadpool: Could Mid-Budget Action Movies Make a Return?

For years now, the film industry has perpetuated an environment in which mid-budget movies couldn’t thrive. For a while it seemed as though the movie-making formula that helped foster some of the greatest filmmakers of our generation was all but extinct thanks to a combination of changing studio economics and – as much as we hate to admit it – audience demands. While there have been notable exceptions – particularly in the horror and comedy genres, and thanks to a few innovative new production companies – the few mid-budget studio films that made it to the screen, especially those in the action genre, by and large, failed to flourish....
