In recent years, it seems that every major movie is flopping at the box office. From big-budget action blockbusters to star-studded romantic comedies, it seems that audiences are just not turning out to see these films. So, why is every movie flopping?
One possible reason for the decline in movie attendance is the rise of streaming services. With the popularity of platforms like Netflix, Amazon Prime, and Disney+, more and more people are opting to watch movies from the comfort of their own homes. This has led to a decrease in movie theater attendance and subsequently, a decrease in box office revenue.
Another factor that may be contributing to the decline in movie success is the oversaturation of the market. With so many movies being released each week, it can be difficult for a film to stand out and garner the attention of audiences. This leads to many films being lost in the shuffle and ultimately flopping at the box office.
Additionally, the quality of movies being released may also be a contributing factor. Many audiences have expressed dissatisfaction with the lack of originality in Hollywood, as well as the reliance on sequels, reboots, and remakes. This has led to a sense of audience fatigue and a lack of interest in seeing the same old stories being retold on the big screen.
Marketing and promotion also play a crucial role in a movie’s success, and a lackluster marketing campaign can significantly impact a film’s box office performance. With so much competition in the entertainment industry, a movie needs to have a strong marketing strategy in order to capture the attention of potential audiences and entice them to see the film in theaters.
Finally, changing audience preferences and viewing habits must also be taken into account. As demographics and tastes evolve, movie studios must adapt to the changing landscape in order to stay relevant to their target audience.
In conclusion, there are several factors that may be contributing to the decline in movie success. From the rise of streaming services to oversaturation of the market and a lack of originality in storytelling, it is clear that the movie industry is facing significant challenges. Moving forward, it will be crucial for movie studios to adapt to these changes and find new ways to capture the attention and interest of audiences in order to reverse the trend of flopping movies.

I stopped going to movies but opinions on You Tube are more interesting.
If guys don't like a movie it most likely won't do well. Women will go see a movie a guy likes but try and get a guy to go see one of these woke movies. Movies are normally a date night thing and if one refuses a movie then it won't be seen. Its a whole different approach to a kids movie though, the parent normally has to like it.
Moon is awaken
Too much going on in a movie loses its impact. Now it's just constant action. Indie movies are still holding true.
Its the superheroes
I think the main problem that this video has is the fact that it's factually wrong.
Sure, it's fun to prattle on about how badly movies suck these days, and they might, but describing most movies as, 'Flopping,' is simply incorrect.
The Star Wars example was probably the best because Episode VII (The Force Awakens) has the best box office draw by a MILE, even after adjusting for inflation. In fact, Episode VIII (The Last Jedi…which I do think mostly sucked) is so close to Episode VI-Return of the Jedi (after adjusting for inflation) as to be effectively tied.
Given that I immediately knew that Episode VII is the best performer by a mile, the rest of the video becomes a bit difficult to take seriously, but I guess I'll try to watch the rest.
Another thing is that I don't know if they mentioned Covid, or are going to. Theaters were totally shut down (in many areas) for the better part of an entire year and the Covid rules (whether or not you agree with the mandates themselves) were disastrous and slowed down production of various things.
For proof, you can just look at the Domestic Box Office listings by year (I found on Box Office Mojo's site) and it looks like this for releases:
2019: 910
2020: 456
2021: 440
2022: 498
2023: 519
As you can see, these various slowdowns (as well as strikes) have resulted in a delayed release schedule. We also can't quite be sure of streaming sales, exactly, but going to the theater fell out of the public favor and hasn't quite come back yet.
There's still a month left of 2023, but in terms of gross, the best year for the Box Office (domestic) was 2018, a year in which it drew $11,892,160,011 off of 993 titles.
In terms of the average movie, you'd have to go back to 2010 to see the average movie performing as well in the box office as it has in 2023. In any case, when it comes to straight box office revenues, I imagine you'd see the difference made up if nearly 400 more movies had been released in 2023 so that 2019 would actually be comparable. In any event, the average movie, for 2023, does about 3.4M better at the box office than the average one in 2019.
Anyway, I'm not terribly happy with Hollywood, but I also try to be objective. The premise of this video is flawed because it relies on statements that are simply wrong.
I don't bother with modern movies anymore for the same reason, my time investment is TV and movies pre-2010 when the world didn't become filled by woke filled scaredy cats. You can be diverse and inclusive without all this wokeness it has been done for years and mostly on the small screen than the big screen.
Forcing out of place black/asian characters into period dramas for example is history fiction not history fact, it shows a fake utopica of what the past should have been rather than educating people on what it actually was so we can learn and move forward from it.
Same for female empowerment and LGBTQ rights and dealing with historical context.
Go woke, go broke
People are tired of dropping $20 to watch CGI thingies fly across a screen for two hours? Shocker
so to summarize if you wanna watch a good superhero show/movie you gotta watch 'The Boys'…………….. understood
while it is an animated tv series and not a movie i believe the best female protagonist is from Blue Eye Samurai. She fails multiple times and when she fails there sometimes is no solution, she has many flaws and makes many mistakes while she is very psychically strong it is balanced out and part of her strength is owed to her sword, her mentors, and even her apprentices. I think the show has many flaws but the character arc is exceptional
It's due to a lack of diversity.
We're tired of the usual strong white female character, or the strong black female character.
We want strong trans-female or non-binary characters!!!
Please, perverts of Hollywood, give us more virtue signaling!
Movies are for entertainment not agenda making
Easy 2 main causes, "THE MESSAGE" and shit writing.
80s and 90s still has the best movies and music easy
movies, dramas are so called Art. don't ever brain wash yourself with that. Decondition yourself.
I liked Mission Impossible: Dead Reckoning, All Quiet on The Western Front, and Oppenheimer in recent times. I reckon that it's only the woke films and cash grabs that don't work.
because they are all WOKE, most people don't care about your WOKE BS.
as a regular viewer here, i stop watching movies after pandemic, i blame netflix for making me hooks on series instead. A two hours movie just cant let you connect emotionally with their storytelling.
Just want to say that being “woke” doesn’t automatically make a movie bad. A movie can 100% show “woke” characters and make it great as long as it has a narrative of “these are the challenges I must overcome to reach my goal” and not “I am (X demographic) and that means I can do anything at all simply because I am that!”
Disney really needs to stop bringing back dead characters. THEY DIED FOR A REASON!
I'm tired of everything in todays generation it sucks so bad all they doing is copying 80s and 90s stuff it doesn't work in todays world they need to leave the original stuff alone!
the cost to go to the cinema to watch a movie is also a turnoff.
because they suck no story telling and they dont know what the audience wants, they trying to feed woke stuff to everyone and we all fed up about it!
Just watch media from Asia, South Korea, japan , Hong Kong etc . Been preaching this for over 15 years . Better writing story telling with out pushing politics or propaganda
I enjoy the movies and music back in the 80s more and more…. they had killer soundtracks and they weren't obsessed over movies budgets.
Brie Larson is a great actor, who just killed it in Lessons in Chemistry! The problem is studios over-saturating the market with one ''People wearing tights'' movie after another to the exclusion of too many conventional films getting made. The public has been complaining about this for a long time but no one listens. No less than Martin Scorsese, who hits it out of the park every time, had to go begging to Netflix to get The Irishman made! If The Marvels had come out 5 years ago, it probably would have done well at the box office but I think The Marvels and Brie Larson are failing now because they're too late to the game and the consumer market is turning. Nothing last forever.
Great surgery, Moon. Thank you.
Most "movies" are merely very long trailers about the real movie. Which you will never get to see. Except maybe next time. Except next time it is just another very long trailer. Well – may NEXT time. Or perhaps never.
13:18 If only there was a tiktok/reel/shorts,etc snippet of this segment talking about MCU, so that I can share this everywhere to easily explain why I have completely abandoned MCU since Endgame.
The Thing (1982) was a remake already. : ) But .. a damn good one, by John Carpenter.
But still, a remake. : P So it's funny to see it in this context
Wokeness. Thats it. Thats why every movie is flopping.
Straight up dismissing movies for their woke messaging is absolutely outrageous, sure they are bogged down, but the amount of effort that goes into movies, especially visually stunning ones like lightyear have a lot of really talented people who put their best foot forward for a passion project.
People are BROKE…that’s why. We have other things to focus on like going to work to try to pay for insanely priced everything. A movie just isn’t on our minds anymore
The Movie – Idiocracy, 2006 predicted the end of the culture of USA. Not an outlandish comedy now, it's a documentary of demise.
and then there was Oppenheimer……
