Part 6/8:
The aftermath of Snow White’s failure reflects ongoing struggles within Hollywood. The industry has seen a combination of poor box office results and falling revenues—the darker reality is that, so far, 2024 has seen a series of underperforming movies, with no signs of an imminent turnaround. Major releases this year, such as The Marvels, The Acolyte, and Rings of Power Season 2, continue to underperform, indicating systemic issues.
Theaters are struggling, and many operators are experimenting with new models—like combining bars or other entertainment options—to adapt to declining audiences. The industry’s reliance on big, costly blockbusters that fail to connect with fans is a clear warning sign: Hollywood needs to produce better content.
