It's all just endless rehashes of shit that no one asked for, I mean the Barbie movie is the one that's getting me the most. Who is actually going "Yes, I want a feminist take on an iconic American doll franchise that literally nobody buys anymore except maybe a 5 year old girl that embodies the pink stereotype"?
I'm definitely out of touch on this one but do girls even play with dolls all that much these days? Even girly girls don't seem all that interested and it's partly because of modern tech there's way more entertaining shit to do now. I don't think even normies want anything to do with this shit and that's why it's tanking so hard and they're usually the biggest consumers of trash produced by companies.
My two youngest nieces still play with barbies all the time. But that's a sample size of two. I can't recall if the older ones did the same when they were younger.

A shockingly large amount of women, who don't care about any of that but love the "pastel" the art style is going for, as well as Ryan Gosling being a literal marketing meme.
Its almost entirely built for the "played with them as a kid" angle, not the actual children playing with them currently demo.
It's not like they make movies ppl want to see. The theater biz is almost extinct.
They tried to cover it up by having 1/2 to 1/3 the seats of an old cinema, charging 15 dollars for tickets, and running a gross restaurant out of it. Which I mean that's the model now, but total audience is way down.
Yep, you also have to taken into account the rise of the internet and personal devices too. Who's going to pay to go a cinema and sit in some strange disgusting chair with strangers inevitably nattering in your ear when even for a relatively cheap price these days you can easily setup something decent with an internet connection and there are loads of tech options now. If all you want to do is watch stuff and browse online it's pretty remarkable the sort of tech you can get these days just for that.
Hold up, you're using shorthand I don't understand and even some decent furniture isn't hard to come by these days, I don't really think it's hard to replicate the 'theatre experience'.

If I actually want to sit through a movie, sitting up, a theater is a.good place to do so. A family is going to think twice b4 buying 5 tix.
Since tix were 4 dollars, the price has at least tripled where most prices only are 2x the same time frame.
