It’s no secret: Hollywood is in trouble.

The movie business is in free fall; box office revenues have declined rapidly. Once invincible studios and even properties such as Marvel and Disney have been on a losing streak. There have been only a few event movies that have managed to grab big audiences, while major award shows like the Academy Awards have never been less meaningful.

One fairly obvious reason for this may be because a commitment Democrat politics has deeply infested the entertainment industry, much to its great detriment. While Hollywood has leaned left for decades, only recently has it become a central focus for much of the creative talent. And as the left continues to lurch further from middle America, so too has the content emanating from left-wing movie studios.

Disney’s expensive, high-profile franchise release “Tron: Ares” was yet another recent disaster. Actor Jeff Bridges managed to take the opportunity during the promotional campaign to insert his own political messages into interviews.

How deeply that hurt the box office numbers, or didn’t, is up for debate. But it represented the bizarre, singular focus of liberal actors to deliberately alienate a huge percentage of the country.

There is, however, one studio seemingly interested in slowing the industry’s descent into irrelevancy by taking advantage of the industry’s self-sabotaging disinterest in ~160 million people.

Paramount Pictures, now under the control of Skydance Media’s (Mission Impossible, Top Gun) David Ellison, is looking to produce more films that would resonate with wider audiences. For what is perceived by Hollywood as a crime, Paramount must now be relentlessly attacked by the industry, the media, and the institutional left.
