You cannot just change some ‘offensive parts’, the rest of the movie must also be thematically suitable.I am not sure the end result would get any more viewers, it might actually get less. I am pretty sure they thought about this / what their core audience should be to maximize profits and built a movie based on that. What Hollywod has a much harder time with is predicting the number of actual viewers / the reception of the finished movie, otherwise every movie would be a successAlso, it is never the audience’s fault. You cannot say ‘I created a great product, the people are just too stupid to buy it’, that is your failure, not theirs. You either failed to create sufficient interest or misjudged the existing level of interest, or you are ok with this being a loss if it manages to shift that perception so future projects can be successful and you recoup the investment  over time.</blockquote>
