People want a balanced cast, and a well-written story. Not pandering.

Please cite examples.

GhostbustHERS, for as terrible as it was, had a $144 million budget and made more than $220 million.

Black Widow is killing it in the theatres.

A bit dated, but the Sex & The City movie made nearly 3x what it cost to make.

Captain Marvel is literally a Billion Dollar movie.

So I'm gonna need examples

Acknowledging that both of these happen is the first step. Now, see if you can notice what's different between the ones that succeed and the ones that flop.

birds of prey is based on an existing property where all the leads are women, how are they supposed to adapt it without a heavily female cast?????

and it flopped because it's just a bad movie. I didn't see terminator but I've heard it's even worse.

this topic was made so that tc could point and laugh at bad movies that flopped,, and pretend they flopped because they feature women

TIL (action) movies with a female lead and/or has lots of female main characters in it is inherently a "Feminist" movie.

Are we just going to pretend that the biggest Feminist Movie of all time "Spice World", a movie with the tag line "GIRL POWER!" didn't make QUADRUPLE it's budget in the office?

By big budget movie standards, they were flops. You guys think any amount over the cost of making the movie makes it a huge success.

Nah you can say they underperformed but a flop or a bomb means a net loss for the studio, all those films made considerable bank even if they were expected (source on this btw?) to do better.

That's not how those work. Marketing budgets are huge and Sony confirmed Ghostbusters needed $300 million just to break even. It was a flop.

Terminator was as well. Birds of Prey not so much because the pandemic hurt it a lot.

If Terminator Dark Fate is a feminist movie wouldn't Terminator 2 be one as well?
