Hollywood's Hidden Musical Trend

Hollywood is hiding its musicals, omitting any mention of music in the trailers for films like Wonka, Mean Girls, and The Color Purple. This tactic aims to avoid turning off potential viewers who are not fans of musicals. However, this strategy has caused confusion and disappointment among some viewers who were unaware that these movies were actually musicals. This trend can be attributed to the recent decline in the success and popularity of movie musicals, despite previous hits like La La Land and The Greatest Showman. Studios may be hesitating to greenlight future movie musicals due to this lack of audience interest.
