Hollywood's Audience Blame Game

This video examines Hollywood’s increasing “audience blame game” — the trend of major studios blaming viewers for box office failures instead of admitting weak storytelling and poor creative choices. Using Pixar’s Ilio as a case study, we look at how disastrous test screenings resulted in a watered-down film that flopped, only for Disney to criticize the audience afterward. Since around 2016, studios have more and more treated audiences not as customers, but as “students” to be taught, hiding lackluster films with identity politics to make them “criticism-proof.” The outcome? Huge financial losses, a disconnect from viewers, and an industry caught in its own ideological bubble.
