Part 2/10:
One prominent example discussed is a recent film featuring Leonardo DiCaprio, Sean Penn, Benicio del Toro, and others that was fundamentally political—a pro-anti-FA movie that celebrated certain leftist themes. Despite the hype and star power, the film grossed only around $138 million worldwide, with just over $54 million domestically. These numbers are stark given the film's hefty production budget of approximately $140 million, excluding marketing costs which could easily push total expenses to about $250 million.
