TLDR summary is they&#x27;re narrowcasting to a local maxima that is shrinking. To be politically correct they attacked &quot;boy movies&quot; although there seems to be no shortage of angsty middle aged women movies, or at least my wife hasn&#x27;t run out of them yet. The point isn&#x27;t that they are narrowcasting to the wrong local maxima, the problem is they&#x27;re narrowcasting in general.<p>AKA<p>&quot;continuously catering to a demographic losing interest in the movies.&quot;<p>There was a bit of &quot;its boring&quot;, no new ideas, all the traditional arguments.<p>Extroverted entertainment .. of, by, and for extroverts.<p>Too many execs trying their hardest to more perfectly copy each other. Like web designers but worse.
