Political satire and the box office performance are always at odds

I don’t have a truck, I don’t like trump, I just gave my honest review. Of course Im happy you want to watch it, please enjoy it. You asked me to explain my earlier thoughts on the poor box office performance and I did.

I explain it better over here https://hackertalks.com/post/7479031

• If you like trump, your not going to watch this
• if you hate thinking about trump, your not going to watch this
• If you are tired of seeing trump in everything, your not going to watch this
• if your really anxious and worried about what trump is doing to the usa, and the world, this movie wont make you feel better, so you probably wont watch it.

The people who are going to watch it are people who don’t like trump, but want to see trump being made fun of for a entire movie. That demographic exists, and they will really like it. But in the context of a box office flop, it does explain things.

Making super topical political satire narrows the audience and dates the production.

Making a overtly political film so on the nose that it will alienate 50% of your possible audience… Then getting shocked when the film under performs.

This scifi film isn’t scifi, it’s a extended SNL skit with scifi window dressing. So you lost your scifi audience here

The humor in the film is cringe humor, that doesn’t appeal to all humor demographics.

So the audience is people who hate trump but don’t mind thinking about trump, people who don’t dislike scifi trappings but also don’t really like scifi themes/ideas, and people who want to watch a full hour of political cringe humor. That is a small audience.
