Further, they produce a lot of stuff besides their signature wokeslop
So what? So does Hollywood - Oppenheimer wasn't wokeslop, and that was the third highest grossing R-rated movie ever.

Netflix's entire strategy of the last decade plus has been to license less and produce more in house.

I included the next paragraph to (futilely) head off such sufficiently motivated reasoners.
Looking at netflix subscriber numbers, there is no drop like we see in box office sales despite the median Netflix release generally being way more shitty and pozzed than the median theatre movie.
Somehow, the theory is that people are disgusted by wokeslop in theatres, but happy to gulp it down at home. Perhaps the counterclaim will be that people pay for Netflix but don't watch it, or only watch it in the background.

Box office revenues have been dropping since covid (as seen on the chart). Assuming the trend continues past 2024, it's hardly surprising that one month would turn out abnormally bad and be the worst such month for a long time.
How does covid affect box office revenues? I don't know man, the last movie I saw in a theater was Oppenheimer. Perhaps people, having not gone to the movies during lockdown, simply decided that it's overrated.
In any case, I don't think that a priori you would expect that Hollywood's wokeness would only catch up to it only in 2020, although I'm sure a sufficiently motivated reasoner could make the case.
Looking at netflix subscriber numbers, there is no drop like we see in box office sales despite the median Netflix release generally being way more shitty and pozzed than the median theatre movie. So I really don't think this is a story of "get woke go broke" at all.

This looks more like a covid effect than anything else.
It was a scythe actually, but directionally correct.
Doing the work yourself does not logically exclude the possibility of mechanization though.
