Recent reports highlight a troubling trend in Hollywood: major films are performing poorly at the box office compared to previous years. While the mainstream media offer various explanations, one undeniable fact stands out – American audiences are growing tired of the overwhelming woke propaganda in today’s entertainment.
As of early May, Box Office Mojo revealed that domestic box office earnings for the year barely surpassed the $2 billion mark. This represents a 22% decline from the same period the previous year when earnings exceeded $2.6 billion. Even more alarming, it is a massive 41% drop from the numbers seen in 2019, before the pandemic.
In an insightful article by Sally Reed on Publination, the dissatisfaction among moviegoers is clearly articulated. Reed emphasizes how the surge of woke agendas in recent films has estranged a significant portion of the audience, leading to financial losses for Hollywood.
“With every new film promoting the woke narrative, Hollywood continues to hemorrhage money. In 2023, the industry failed to meet its projected earnings by half a billion dollars, a stark indication that the public is growing increasingly fatigued with this one-sided messaging,” Reed stated.
She highlights the disconnect between Hollywood and its target audience, pointing out the industry’s failure to produce content that appeals to a wider group of people. Instead, the current trend seems to isolate and criticize those who do not align with its narrow worldview.
While some attribute Hollywood’s financial struggles to external factors like the rise in streaming services or labor disputes, many conservatives believe the prominent role of woke messaging cannot be ignored.
Renowned Breitbart News writer John Nolte bluntly commented, “Despite the elaborate excuses, the truth is clear – people are losing their love for movies. After years of woke indoctrination, the general consensus is that movies have declined in quality and substance.”
Reed concludes her article with a call for introspection within the entertainment industry. She urges studios and creatives to shift away from the alienating woke content towards more inclusive and diverse storytelling, underscoring that woke media is a fading trend that fails to connect with the hearts and minds of ordinary Americans.
As the industry confronts this crucial moment, it is essential for Hollywood to listen to its audience and adjust its course before causing further damage.
