Many working in entertainment were no doubt hoping 2024 would be a comeback year for the industry.
After a series of terrible disasters — a 2023 filled with box office flops, union strikes, skyrocketing production costs, the collapse of the streaming model, etc. — it appears that 2024 is indeed a comeback year for entertainment… though, not in the way many were hoping.
The “comeback” now taking place is a return of content from years ago before “wokeness” overtook the industry.
Streaming audiences are watching older shows more than newer ones. Gamers are playing older video games more than the latest releases. And now, theatergoers would rather spend their money on a re-release of 2004’s “Shrek 2” than on many of Hollywood’s latest animated films.
