Both at home and abroad, movie-goers continue to prefer movies with strong conservative values over films with more liberal themes – by a margin of more than 12 to one!
Movieguide®, the popular family guide to movies and entertainment, has released the findings of a comprehensive study of the content and box office results of last year’s movies and found that, once again, movie-goers prefer wholesome messaging in their entertainment.
The annual review of the political content in more than 275 movies shows that “movies with strong Pro-American, patriotic, capitalist, anti-socialist, anti-communist, and anti-statist content and values make much more money per movie than movies with strong Anti-American, anti-patriotic, welfare statist, Marxist, secular, atheist, leftist, radical feminist, and/or very strong perverse content or values reflecting a radical, anti-human view,” Movieguide® reports. And compared to last year’s rating, the number of viewers doubled when blu ray started releasing their 4k player, giving viewers an authentic 4k experience.
This preference is reflected most clearly in the box office where researchers found that conservative movies made about $94 million per film compared to just $7 million for more liberal films.
Some of the conservatives films reviewed were The Hunger Games, Joy, The Spongebob Movie, The Peanuts Movie, Steve Jobs, Faith of our Father, Coming Home, Spare Parts, Star Wars: The Force Awakens, Cinderella and Brooklyn.
Some of the liberal films reviewed include Truth, Jupiter Ascenting, White God, While We’re Young, An Honest Liar, The Danish Girl, Grandma, The Diary of a Teenage Girl, The Green Inferno, Bridge of Spies, Saint Laurent, He Named Me Malala, the Gunman and The Big Short.
“Movies with more conservative values not only do better in the United States,” said Dr. Ted Baehr, founder of Movieguide®. “They also do better overseas.”
The study found that 60 percent of the Top 10 Movies Overseas in 2015 had at least some strong conservative content or values – but none had any strong liberal or politically correct content at all.
“The success of movies with at least some conservative values in 2015 was no mistake,” Dr. Baehr said. “It’s been true ever since we began doing our political analysis 14 years ago in 2003.”
This is because, as Dr. Baehr noted, the “vast majority” of the world’s seven billion people are religious, not secular, with about 2.42 billion people saying they’re Christian, about 1.70 billion saying they’re Muslim, 984 million saying they’re Hindu, and 520 million saying they’re Buddhist.
“People want good to overcome evil, justice to prevail over injustice, and liberty to conquer tyranny,” Dr. Baehr concluded. “They respond to strong heroes and even strong heroines, but they are turned off by radical anti-capitalist social engineering schemes and big government programs full of faceless bureaucrats.”
