Another Disappointing Box Office Return For Woke Hollywood
It appears that with every new release that incorporates the “woke” agenda, Hollywood loses money. Number fell a billion and half dollars from the projected total in 2023, however, Hollywood seems to be under the impression that everyone is still on board with “woke” media. Let’s see why that might be a problem.
Hollywood has been attempting to connect with everyday people and make films that they think people want to watch.
Sadly, the information they get from their viewers, are from people that all reside in the same state. The result of this is that the media they produce is typically poorly received, and is hyper focused on values and aesthetics that don't appeal to everyone. It seems like Hollywood is trying to push a message that condemns anyone that doesn’t have the same beliefs as it does.
While many might recall a recent SAG writers strike, Hollywood has also encountered numerous other issues as of late, including delays, disruptions and complete flops.
In particular, superhero films, which were a huge hit up until recently, have seen a decline in popularity. For example, Madame Web, saw a 67% decline after its first week in theaters.
Defining “woke” is a bit of a challenge, people tend to use the term in their own way. Generally, if something is “woke” it is trying to sell a specific brand of moral messaging.
The egregious nature of woke messaging is in the way it treats the audience. It belittles them and treats them as if they are children, no one is going to be receptive to that kind of treatment, especially when it comes to entertainment and movies.
Hollywood has also witnessed its fair share of disappointments with Marvel, which is difficult to comprehend, especially for those that remember how powerful the releases of these movies used to be.
Under the ownership of Disney, the company tanked. Without a solid direction, ingrained woke messaging, and a lack of substance in its scripts, it came as no surprise to fans when their films didn’t do well.
