Anyway, yes, there is a huge problem getting adults to go to the movies post-pandemic. In 2016, 98 movies grossed $25M domestically; this year, about 60 will. You can't make moviegoing into a weekly habit again with so little product. But "People hate stars/dramas/comedies now" isn't the lesson IMO.

Another issue: The gap between who media and the internet thinks is a big star and who normie moviegoers think is a big star is widening. We can talk about Sydney Sweeney all day long, but say her name to a lot of people over 40 and I promise you, you will be greeted by a blank stare. >

Oh God yes. The inescapable round of "almost there"...
In other news, I saw this earlier and thought "Good for Lydia! Oh, wait..."

Got a show being developed in Australia, which is fun! But also applied for a temp job in a bookshop. So, yeah, this industry is weird...
