The failure of these movies signals a decisive shift in audience preferences. Movies like Sound of Freedom and What Is a Woman? have demonstrated that audiences are willing to support films that prioritize storytelling and human themes over political messaging.

The industry’s current strategy of pushing politically charged narratives risks alienating viewers who seek authentic, relatable stories. As the market declines for these films, industry insiders are beginning to acknowledge the disconnect.
