I thought woke goes broke?


What happened to that theory? Lol

Is this film woke? I haven't heard that about it. Barbie was super-woke, and it made a boatload last year, so it's not like anything that pushes a leftist agenda is going to automatically fail.

Even if it is woke, it has every built-in advantage a film could possibly have, so it seems "go broke proof." Some of those advantages include,

1. It's a musical, and musicals tend to dominate the box office.
2. It's based on the 2nd highest grossing Broadway musical of all time. 65 million people saw the musical.
3. It's a kid's movie, and those tend to do very well at the box office.
4. It's also a grown-up's movie.
5. It's a date movie, too.
6. It's based on The Wizard of Oz, one of the most beloved films in the history of cinema.

Apart from the green/black actress making a huge fuss about poster alteration I don't see any woke "negative anti-hype" about this movie.
The trailer looks like a kinda Harry Potter-style movie, with some nice visuals, no wonder the younger audience's parents bought the ticket.

Tell us what is woke about this movie.
