Shuttered Studio Participant Discovers Social Justice Movies Don’t Sell

That’s to not say Participant didn’t ship the occasional respectable title: Bridge of Spies, Deepwater Horizon, Lincoln, Green Book, A Most Violent Year, Citizenfour, and Contagion are fairly good, and I’ll without end be grateful to Waiting for Superman for exposing the cruelty of Democrats blocking faculty alternative. But most of what this firm produced was greens, and nobody goes to the flicks to eat greens.

Your catalog is the important thing to survival within the Biden financial system, the place cash is not free resulting from excessive rates of interest, and the left-wing affirmative motion of cable/satellite tv for pc TV is drying up. Your catalog of movies is there to create a continuing income stream by way of residence video gross sales, overseas gross sales, and tv offers. The drawback with Participant’s catalog is that, with these few exceptions, the corporate failed to supply motion pictures folks need to see once more.

Whereas well-made documentaries — Grizzly Man, Hearts and Minds, Harlan County U.S.A., American Movie, O.J.: Made in America, Salesman, Heart of Darkness, Hoop Dreams, Gimme Shelter, Into the Abyss, Capturing the Friedmans, The Devil and Daniel Johnston, The Thin Blue Line, Grey Gardens, and so forth. — demand repeat viewings as a result of they make you assume relatively than inform you what to assume. There’s a thriller there, one thing unknowable.

Woke has zero shelf life. It leaves you nothing to mull, nothing to reply or uncover. Certainly nothing you want to rediscover. And it’s not simply Participant. All this woke rubbish Hollywood’s been producing—billions and billions of {dollars} in awful content material, hundreds of films and TV reveals, tens of hundreds of TV episodes—is ineffective as a continuing income stream by way of licensing offers. You would possibly as effectively attempt to persuade folks to rewatch a deodorant business. No one desires to see that once more, even when they use the deodorant.
