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.

Unpopular Messaging
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.

Hollywood Has Issues
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.

Woke
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.

Woke Messaging Sinks Marvel Releases
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.

Writers’ Strike Has A Huge Impact
It is understandable that writers play a pivotal role in the production of 
films. However, during the writers’ strike, many people simply avoided 
working for Hollywood because of their contracts.

Hollywood’s attempt to diminish the significance of writers proved to be 
unsuccessful, and the strike was responsible for months of delays, which 
contributed to a loss that was around half a billion dollars.

Fewer Films
In 2019, right before the COVID pandemic halted the world as we knew it 
(including movie theaters). Hollywood had planned to release 108 films 
during the year.

That declined to 88 In 2023, less films with bad writing and delayed 
scheduled releases are part of the continued problem for Hollywood in 
2024.

Adjusting Budgets
It’s been quite a while since Hollywood has released a blockbuster film 
that heavily relied on  preachy morals to sell itself. And it seems that 
this is the reason why many moviegoers just aren’t going to the movies 
anymore.

The prevalence of big-budget flops, poor-quality scripts, and an 
overbearing amount of special effects have turned movies from something to 
look forward to into a display of technology. It is obvious that Hollywood 
needs to make adjustments if it wants to improve its current issues.
