Jordan Peterson Has A Theory For Why ‘Lightyear’ Flopped
By Ben Zeisloft, Daily Wire:
Canadian professor and clinical psychologist Jordan Peterson attributed the failure of “Toy Story” spinoff “Lightyear” — which garnered controversy for including a same-sex kiss — to market forces.
Daily Wire writer Amanda Prestigiacomo noted on Sunday that “Lightyear” brought in a paltry $51 million during its three-day opening — despite a lack of competition from other children’s movies and significantly more robust success from past “Toy Story” flicks. Responding to Prestigiacomo’s article, Peterson said on social media that the failure pointed to “the revenge of the market.”
As Peterson noted, Americans are by no means enthused by woke corporate activists shoving leftist viewpoints down their throats. A recent poll conducted by Echelon Insights on behalf of The Daily Wire showed that although 29% of American investors agreed it is a “good thing” for companies to leverage their financial power for political or social means supported by executives, 58% — twice as many — said it is a “bad thing.”
