Since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, the entertainment industry, like many others, has been reeling to regain lost ground after the lockdown and work stoppages. 2023 showed a clear rebound, but not quite as robust as studios, or their parent companies would've liked. Along with that disruption, the mass adoption of streaming and historic strikes further complicated things. Ironically, in 2023, Star Trek had one of its biggest years in its nearly 60-year history, but bad news is on the horizon for the franchise if Paramount and Warner Bros. Discovery enter a merger. Perhaps there is no greater example of the disconnect between the industry's expectations and reality than another studio's failures.
