flockbuster

A film or series of films created solely to capitalize off of the main theme or narrative of a recently made, incredibly successful flick.

First coined in 2023 by popular tech creator @soteddybear on Twitter, a ‘flockbuster’ recognizes a surge of films created in one genre that closely relate to a given theme.

While I do enjoy going to the movies, is doesn’t really feel like there is much for us to check out in October. More often then not, it’s just another Halloween flockbuster.
