According to Michael Medved (Hollywood vs A,merica) the domestic audience is increasingly less relevant to Hollywood : They get more and more of the revenue from overseas audiences. And those audiences have no objection-far from it-to grotesquely antiAmerican films. If anything, US films that depict the USA as a nightmare of violence and preversion are popular because of that depiction. Therefore, a mass boycott of Hollywood productions by US citizens would have little impact.

excellent point. Forgot about medved's book there for a second. There has always been a disconnect between the hollywood mindset and the general public. They just do not care.

The problem is that this article was focused on the Oscar nominees none of which fit this description.
