Quietly, although no one is watching, the entire movie genre is erased from existence. Now back. This weekend, the new version Naked gun Released in theaters, it is the first major comedy movie to be released in eight years.
The last complete important comedy that appears in the cinema is Dad’s Home 2released in 2017. Comedy is then banned in Hollywood.
Dad’s Home 2 It’s a reasonable hit. Its all-star cast includes Will Ferrell, Mark Wahlberg, John Lithgow, John Cena and Mel Gibson. The audience loved it and gave the film a high score. It made a lot of money at the box office, with a budget of $70 million and a $180 million.
I’ll tell you this, so you know nothing Dad’s Home 2 Impressing that big comedy movies are no longer a good investment. on the contrary. They are easy to make and easy to profit from. What’s wrong?
I’ve heard some people try to blame Covid, but that’s not because Covid happened in 2020 and the comedy movie passed away in 2017.
The number of comedy films produced is gradually slowing down until 2017. In 2015, nearly 12 large-scale budget comedy films were in the theater, with movies as the leader TED 2,,,,, Paul Blatt 2and original Dad’s home. In 2016, that number dropped to less than six Central Intelligence,,,,, Bad momand Neighbor 2 As the most famous entry.
Despite the reduced number of comedy releases, the money is still huge. Central Intelligence Making $226 million by himself. Despite this, the 2017 comedy disappeared.
When Jennifer Lawrence No sad feeling. In response, the media attacked her for this and she never showed up again since. It’s like she didn’t run out of business.
That’s why there is no comedy. No sad feeling Called creepy and deaf, because of the daring existence. The film is about a hot middle-aged girl who brings a teenage nerd under her wings, accused of promoting toxic masculinity and being considered an insult to the #MeToo movement.
A few ordinary people who do see it like it. The movie scored 86% on Rotten Tomatoes. But the activist-oriented rebound in the media buried the film, which barely registered at the box office.
For Lawrence and No sad feeling It’s exactly the comedy that Hollywood has avoided for the past eight years. That’s why it all, given what happened to Lawrence, it’s hard to say it’s not the right business decision.
I’m not sure it was the right cultural decision. In recent history, people need to laugh, and it has been eight years since there has been no laughter.
Now Naked gun In the theater, but it was not a brave move. This is an opportunity. The anti-crazy mentality that holds entertainment media has begun to evaporate. Naked gun It is the first to take advantage of the ever-changing environment.
regardless Naked gun Since the past eight years have proven that Hollywood is underperforming the changes in political bias expressed by the media rather than profitable, it has done poorly at the box office. That media orthodox concept prohibits us from laughing for eight years and seems to have accepted it Naked gun.
The janitor opened the door and made us all laugh. I’m glad the comedy is back, but no one is happy about how it happened. Remove the door; we can’t let this happen again.
