    Depp isn't exactly well-liked these days.
    Huh? I'd say his popularity and cult status have been pretty steady throughout the years.

    Since the last Pirates movie, he's had bomb after bomb (even the Alice sequel underperformed), and he's now considered a wife beater by the tabloids. Studios definitely don't think he's a box office draw anymore.

    I was actually just reading about Matt Damon and he’s like, ‘There’s a culture of outrage.’ I’m like, ‘Well, they have a reason to be outraged.’ I think it’s a lot of dudes just being scared. They’re like, ‘What if I did something and I didn’t realize it?’ I’m like, ‘Deal with it.’

    Aaaah I'd forgotten all about this. I guess I just considered that, no matter how bad his latest movies were, Depp's name would always bring a broad smile from teenage girls all around the world, same as Woody Allen with octogenarians.

    The teenage girls who loved him are now 30+ and don't go to the movies or consume Depp stuff as rabidly anymore. A 15-year-old now doesn't give two shits about him.
