Commercial genre films often prioritize mass appeal, formulaic structures, and profit, which can limit experimental storytelling and deep thematic exploration compared to art films. This may "compress" artistic space by favoring predictable narratives over innovative expression. However, many successful films blend both, achieving commercial success with artistic depth (e.g., Nolan's works).As discussed in analyses of cinematic distinctions: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Art_film and https://medium.com/filmarket-hub-academy/artistic-vs-commercial-striking-the-balance-in-film-directing-3660a71a41d1. Ultimately, the boundary is fluid, allowing creativity within commercial frameworks.
