According to Seth Rogen, the success of the Marvel Cinematic Universe is making it tougher to launch big-screen comedies. Promoting his new HBO Max comedy “An American Pickle” in an interview with Games Radar,  the Vancouver-born filmmaker explained how the cinematic landscape has changed since “Iron Man” ushered in the Marvel era at the box office. “What’s funny is, I’ve been told for the last 10 years that midsize comedies are dying.

Yet, throughout that time, luckily we’ve been able to release enough midsize comedies that have done well that they keep allowing us to make them,” said Rogen, 38. “Movies like ‘Sausage Party’ and ‘Blockers’ have managed to do really, really well, even though they’re the exact type of thing that people say

‘American Pickle’ Director Is Happy To Skip The “Mid-Budget Slaughterhouse” Of A Theatrical Release
While there is no tried and true formula for box office success, there are a few constants that seem to always hold true in an industry known for its unpredictability—Marvel Studios films will always dominate; Jason Blum can make a micro-budget horror film a hit; And Seth Rogen movies always end up turning a profit. And the latter of which makes the move from Sony to sell “An American Pickle” to HBO Max a bit surprising.

Instead, the pair opted to helm TV shows such as Preacher and Future Man.“Truthfully, after The Interview we were a little traumatised, I think.

An American Pickle Review: Seth Rogen's Wild Family Comedy Is Just Good Enough to Relish
HBO Max film An American Pickle goes to Seth Rogen, who plays dual roles as a 30-something app developer and his 30-something great-grandfather (more on how that comes to be in a bit), but the better name to pay attention to to get a feel for An American Pickle's essence is Simon Rich, whose short story is the basis for the movie (Rich also wrote the screenplay). The humorist Rich, whose delightfully deranged TV works include Man Seeking Woman and Miracle Workers, wrangles stories from his wild imagination and stitches them together with the simplicities of our shared human existence.

‘American Pickle’: Seth Rogen Crafts A Surprisingly Deep Brine With A Sweet Tale Of Family, Forgiveness & Artisanal Pickles [Review]
Based on an utterly ridiculous premise—a man who is preserved in pickle juice for 100 years and comes out of his hibernation unscathed in modern-day Brooklyn—it’s kind of unbelievable that Seth Rogen’s “An American Pickle” is a film at all, and a movie that someone actually greenlit. Originally a Sony movie, eventually sold to HBO Max in the COVID-19 pandemic, at first— in its Eastern-European-set prologue and first act, especially— it’s hard to imagine the quaint, peculiar, small stakes ‘American Pickle’ as a theatrical release, and anything more than the TV movie that it is now.

Seth Rogen in ‘An American Pickle’ on HBO Max: Film Review
Owen Gleiberman Chief Film Critic“An American Pickle” is a comedy that connects you to something so old world that it seems, at times, to be an artifact of prehistory. No, I’m not talking about Herschel Greenbaum (Seth Rogen), a glumly bearded Orthodox Jewish ditch digger from 1919 who escapes the Cossacks by emigrating from Schlupsk (a fictional Eastern European country) to New York City, where he finds work in a pickle factory and ends up tumbling into a vat of briny cucumbers — only to wake up, 100 years later, like Rip Van Winkle crossed with Tevye.
