The musical "Hadestown" achieved a record-breaking opening weekend for a filmed stage musical, grossing $10.2 million and surpassing "Hamilton." This success is attributed to the founder, Anaïs Mitchell, who, over 19 years, gradually ceded control to operational experts and directors. This approach contrasts with many founder-led ventures, particularly in the entertainment industry, that fail by attempting to maintain sole authority, often leading to organizational collapse despite creative talent.
