These articles always come out after a major success of flop. When will people actually realise that no one actually knows what general audiences want? There’s no “lesson” to learn

I see we’re overdue for the trades to pile on about all the stuff Hollywood should OBVIOUSLY learn. Like uhhhh “Don’t be Netflix” or “Make the movie uplifting where the good guys win”
Demon Slayer made money? “Audiences want driven fandom level events with low budgets and high creativity! Marvel slop is a thing of the past!”
Oppenheimer made money? “Audiences want sophisticated real life stories!”
Sinners made money? “Audiences want well shot movies with good music!”

Carl Barks’ law. Don’t let the fact you are writing stories about talking ducks make you think your audiences are idiots.

Hollywood will learn nothing and think it’s only due too Ryan Gosling.

This movie is a hit because people loved The Martian book and movie, loved this book, and were eager for what was expected to be a comparably good product.
This is like drawing conclusions from the success of Avengers: Endgame and ignoring the fact it’s a sequel to a massive hit.

it’s only one movie there’s no lessons to be learned because there’s no guaranteed success especially in the Hollywood movie business

The only proper thing to do is the Woody Allen method… keep budgets as low as possible and hope to break even and sometimes you’ll make money. they need to keep the budgets for these mainstream NPC films 50 million or less. they can’t continue to throw away $100 or 200 million on slop.

The biggest takeaway from the success of this movie is that Hollywood should adapt popular modern novels. It’s working for all those Colleen Hoover movies, it worked for Where the Crawdads Sing, it worked for Ready Player One despite Spielberg making almost nothing but box office flops these days. Seriously, the NTY best sellers used to be this industry’s bread and butter and it feels like in the last decade we’re getting less and less.
