On the flip side Dune did great even though they replaced Liet Kynes with a badass black women explicitly because the director thought the book had a misogyny problem and he wanted more female voices in the movie. Among other things. That ghostbusters movie flopped for plenty of reasons that have nothing to do with some gender controversy that pretty much only neckbeards cared about at the time. Personally? Before I knew that there was even people who like, got emotional and shit about that, I just thought it looked like a lame remake nobody asked for. Originals great, so why would I pay to see a worse version of it? Thought the same way about friday the 13th or texas chainsaw massacre.
You're also giving Hollywood way too much credit in assuming they don't just do whatever the fuck they think will make them money. It's only about money. There is nothing on their minds but money. It takes a LOT of money to make a movie. If producers and studios are willing to shell out that money it's because they are operating under the assumption it will make them money. There are very, very, few "risky moves" in that business, just dumb and out of touch moves. But see, if "wokeness", whatever the hell that even is, didn't make them money they wouldn't keep investing more money than you could make in a lifetime on it again, and again, and again.
Don't get me started on literature. You go on literary agent twitter (yeah, that's a thing) and read what they're all looking for in submissions. All of it, with rare exceptions, is something like "YA fantasy/sci fi with non-binary POC protagonist".
