Breitbart Reports: The start of the COVID pandemic is about four years in the rearview and still being blamed for Hollywood losing 20 percent of moviegoers.
“One out of every five moviegoers has vanished since the pandemic, according to research compiled by one Hollywood studio,” reports the far-left Hollywood Reporter. “Whether they’ll ever return to see a film on the big screen is anyone’s guess — and, if they do, when.”
Compared to the last pre-pandemic year of 2019, the domestic box office is down 21 percent.
The lengthy article is full of facts and figures. It also accidentally answers the question it asks about why this is happening and how to fix it, but it never acknowledges the answer.
The answer is right here: Spider-Man: No Way Home , Barbie, Oppenheimer , John Wick 4 , Top Gun: Maverick , and Sound of Freedom . Those titles were monster hits during and after the pandemic for one very simple reason: people wanted to see them.
The idea that the reasons behind this drop in moviegoing ranks is a whodunnit is absurd. The titles above prove that people will still turn out in droves if they find something appealing. So, how can anyone still blame the pandemic for the drop in moviegoing? If the pandemic was to blame, nothing could succeed in theaters.

There are many causes. I am boycotting Hollywood, as are many others, due to the wokeness. The woke writers and producers are literally stupid people; to be woke, you must turn off logic, resulting in bad decisions. And big screen TVs are starting to offer impressive built-in sound with spatial effects, so the home theater experience is now accessible to Joe Schmo, who may have bought such a TV during the lockdowns. (Joe Schmo doesn't know how to set up speakers and a receiver, but that is no longer required for good spatial sound.)

Hollywood's WOKEness was the original problem, however marketing to those who love WOKE isn't working anymore due to plot redundancies, a lack of originality as well their massive decreases in creativity. The main problem is their obliviousness to it all.
