Studios in Hollywood take a great deal of heat. Critics often look at them as money making machines that have the product's financial potential in mind over the creative or artistic merit that can be derived from the situation.
At the same time, the studios bring the money to the table, enabling filmmakers to make movies that would otherwise be out of their reach.
That said, the outspokenness with filmmakers against studios has increased over the years with Josh Trank being the latest to blame 20th Century Fox for the critical failure of his "Fantastic Four" reboot.
