Comedy movies are dead now and have been for quite some time. Too much financial risk for corporate studio heads who want to appeal to every audience demographic out there.

More has to do with international box office comedy movies don't typically translate well to audiences outside of America. The Hangover for example made almost 60% of it's money here in America.
While I certainly do not agree with the decision to want to appeal more to the international market it's a choice a lot of studios have chosen unfortunately.

People don’t really understand how much streaming has changed the landscape of cinema. It’s unprecedented.
It also doesn’t help that the average moviegoer now has 5-10 less IQ points than moviegoers from 15 to 20 years ago.

I hear that but comedies are relatively cheap to make.

they are but I think studios used to rely on DVD sales and rentals to make up for smaller BO numbers, so I think they're just way more risk averse about them than they used to be. . There were so many comedies then that bombed at the BO that became hits on DVD

I'm late to the party but what are some funny movies these days? A remake of Naked Gun?
Nothing has been released that has made an impact on pop culture even like a Mike Meyers movie.
Maybe that's why there has been a resurgence of stand-up comedy.

This sarcasm?
The first two Austin Powers movies in themselves are funnier than pretty much anything released in the past 10 years. We are on the worst run of comedic movies ever. The 2010's and 20's are awful decades for comedies.

What's your idea of funny? Something like: "You might want to think about changing the name to X-Women?"
