LOS ANGELES — Hollywood executives reportedly gathered behind closed doors this week after Supergirl appeared headed for a massive financial loss, ultimately concluding the problem wasn’t the movie—it was audiences stubbornly refusing to appreciate being preached to, sources have confirmed.
According to studio insiders, the emergency meeting lasted six hours before executives unanimously rejected outdated ideas like “better writing,” “compelling characters,” and “making movies people actually want to watch.”
Instead, consultants recommended doubling down.
“The public clearly didn’t understand the message,” one executive explained.
“Next time we’ll make the message twice as long and the plot half as important.”
Marketing teams reportedly brainstormed new slogans including Entertainment Is Temporary, Lectures Are Forever and If You Didn’t Like It, You’re The Focus Group.
Meanwhile, bewildered moviegoers insisted they weren’t looking for a political science class with CGI explosions.
“I bought popcorn,” one customer said.
“Not homework.”
Studio analysts reportedly dismissed audience feedback after discovering it contained phrases like “fun,” “escapism,” and “good storytelling,” all of which tested poorly with consultants earning six-figure salaries.
Desperate executives allegedly proposed solving the problem by blaming social media, review sites, weather patterns, streaming services, inflation, and “people who just aren’t ready for our vision.”
Noticeably absent from the discussion was any suggestion that audiences simply wanted entertaining movies featuring memorable heroes instead of ideological PowerPoint presentations.
As of press time, Hollywood had reportedly greenlit three more sequels using the exact same formula before announcing it was “shocked” when test audiences quietly walked out during the opening credits.
Everyone knows that people in the Hollyweird circle are a bunch of woke idiots. Hopefully in time they disappear
Kinda reminds us if the Democrat party, they’re clueless also. Their answer … shove it down your throat until it tastes better or hire more consultants, ha. None of us will forget K. Harris in Houston $1 billion in four weeks total flop, forgetting that she couldn’t even finish the Iowa primary a few years earlier. Democrat leadership in WDC met a few months ago, hired a consultant, wrote multi page report with conclusion and recommendation…. Anyone seen it ? … has media reported on it? What a mess.
I don’t call it Hellyweird for nothing.
This days an awful lot about the origin of woke energy. I miss Bruce Willis and Clint Eastwood. This Hollywood is giving us cheap cat food while charging a fortune for popcorn. Hollywood has seen its zenith. Now it is freefall while Europe is producing the good stuff and it’s these same people causing it.
Sounds like an opportunity to short the stock if they are publicly traded.
Bill,
I should have dumped all my Disney the day they announced Snow White and the seven
alphabet only people ! The stock tanked right after that . Even back then people had enough of the industry exchanging entertainment for supercilious moral lecturing ! They still haven’t learned ;
Go woke…
Go broke !
Hey Hollywood your writers are terrible all they can do is copy older movies over and over and over again never any new material. And you idiots think your politicians, well you’re nothing more than the court jesters paid to entertain us, but you can’t even do that
Woke is broke. Let’s remember (and act upon it) when it comes to politics and politicians especially. It does no good to vent and deride if we don’t follow up with action.
I agree with the majority here!! So y’all go ahead and make a few more movies like this one and see just how many millions you can lose!! We will not pay to go see your garbage!!
Disney has been tanking for years, to much of this woke crap. Even the woke folks don’t like anymore.
Disney if you want to make some money. Do what ever it takes to bring Johnny Depp back and make a final Pirates of Caribbean movie. But we know that would be to smart for your idiots in charge
