Disney will kill off the star wars franchise real soon.
Hollywood’s big bank comes from the sale and stream or licensed broadcast of material long after it has left the theaters. 90 years of “product” under copyright on tv, cable, netflix, hulu, amazon prime, DVD, blu-ray, etc.
They are protected from market forces on theatrical failures because of legacy hits and pay-tv channels (the Batman with nipples travesty aired plenty of times on Time-Warner HBO).
They will continue to fund leftist tripe that they know will “tank” because the messaging is important to them. And if it can be pitched as a “historical drama” or “adaptation” then you can expect it to be shown repeatedly in classrooms somewhere down the line.
Wanna boycott? Encourage bootleg. Why would we pay to be proselytized? That is like a muslim demanding you pay if you wanted to hear what they plot on the infidels.
The RIAA is a fraud.
Honey, there aren’t any good movies for the kids. They preach against our values. Let’s do something else.
They seem to NEVER run out of the damn things.
They make one for a single character....then for a team of single characters...THEN one for teams of characters against teams of other characters...
THEN THEY REBOOT one of the characters with a new actor, and then they make prequels, and sequels. Then the movies where the good guy turns into a bad guy!
Marvel an DC must have dozens of minor characters to tap.
Hollywood makes movies primarily for foreign audiences.
I torrent EVERYTHING that I watch. TV, and movies.
No ads, no cable subscription, no money going from me to them. Do not care at all.
These are current stats, they lost the majority of conservative audiences a long time ago.
No, but it will have an effect on your sanity.....
Besides, every movie you ever need was made before 2000 (except “The Hobbit” trilogy”)....
Yup, exactly. That’s why so many people in Hollywood don’t seem concerned about alienating conservative audiences.
Agreed. They’re running it into the ground. Star Wars movies used to be every 3 years, and then 10+ years between trilogies.
And it’s amazing that these movies do so well. Three Spiderman actors in 10 years, and it still made a fortune.
Those demographics tell a tale
Hollywood is not always driven by money....that’s a canard
Look at al the bash Bush and an I war movies the Weinsteins made and Spielberg contributed to
All losers
But they kept making them
Hey no anti war movies for Obama
Trump should stop a subsidy of Hollywood, by ordering the FBI agents assigned to copyright violations reassigned elsewhere. Like investigating violations of federal law associated with harboring illegal aliens.
I don’t go to movies. Those films of true artistic note may work themselves to me eventually.
The low percentages for older voters and for Caucasian voters, compared to their percentage of the population is what should be affecting Hollywood. It’s been a few years that there have been many movies that appealed to old white folks, who grew up going to the movies on a regular basis. Retired people would go to a lot of movies if there were ones worth seeing.
Liberals killed the video star...
Get organized and target just ONE movie. If conservatives across the nation pick one movie and stay home that movie WILL lose money. Do this a couple times and the studios will be forced to take action or take a chance of losing tens of millions of dollars.
I like my life not paying attention to Hollywoodland. Whenever the conversation drifts into the latest action movie or remake of Roots, I get to excuse myself and am not bothered by the vapidness of the situation.
