Why?

This decrease has occured since 1990 despite audience demand.

Comedies were ranking as second genre out of all genres.

A 68,000-consumer survey said htey want more comedies. But hollywood is not delivering. Comedy films average $26.5 million production budgets and double their investment returns at 102%, yet represent just 9.3% of sequel releases compared to action's 27.6%.

The shift reflects studios prioritizing internationally marketable franchises over domestically-focused comedies, which earn most revenue from US and Canadian audiences. Indeed most comedies directly involve USA in their themes and arent applicable worldwide as funny.

Similarly Indian comedies find no audioence out of India.

Even today, old films like 1984's Beverly Hills Cop ($977 million inflation-adjusted) and Ghostbusters ($882 million) remain unmatched by contemporary releases -- with half of Letterboxd's most popular 2020s "comedies" being either non-comedic films like Saltburn or IP-driven movies like Barbie.

I will probably never earn more than $20 an hour (current inflation standards) in my life and will be lucky if I even earn that much. I have no interest in monetary gain and just want a small house to focus on my autistic hobbies, religion, and someone/a family to share it with. Are women actually looking for that or am I boned?
