It’s a tempting explanation, but were Hollywood movies ever not aiming for the biggest audience possible?

I buy the argument for games though, which historically have been much cheaper to produce and hence could be targeted to a smaller audience.

Hollywood movies have become open propaganda as a platform for beat you over the head messaging. They want the broad audience but they chase them away at the same time when they see the films. It makes people cynical and reduces interest over time.
