In what way did the studios underestimate Taylor Swift? Didn't she reach out to AMC directly? She went to the studios, but they didn’t make an offer she accepted. Her dad then went directly to AMC Theatres. The big uproar is because AMC (which has also booked the concert film at competing chains) didn’t give advance notice of the release date. Studios feel “blindsided” but distributors (off the record) don’t care because the strikes are lasting too long and movies are starting to get delayed. David Zaslav moving Dune to March is the catalyst for all this.

What passes for journalism for the entertainment industry these days is 90% clickbait generated by content farms by writers with no knowledge about the subject matter beyond what they've read by other content farms or wikipedia. About 8% is promotional material and puff pieces paid for by the studios, publicists, etc. to plug someone's new project. The remaining 2% is legitimate articles taking their subjects seriously, but they get lost in the chaos.

I was most mesmerized by the 1997 slate at the theater:
Titanic Good Will Hunting Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil The Rainmaker Flubber Home Alone 3
All it needed was Starship Troopers and Tomorrow Never Dies.

I was there on opening day for TND. This was pre-digital. Theaters couldn’t just cancel “lesser films” to make more room for Titanic. My showing of Tomorrow Never Dies played to a packed house. If Titanic sold out, adult had As Good As It Gets as a backup. Teen girls had Good Will Hunting. The rest of us had Tomorrow Never Dies. Although… Sherlock Holmes and Puss n Boots did well opposite the two Avatar’s. Cameron has yet to cannibalize the competition.
