Im not basing this on any study, but in a shall we call it a patriarcal society, men have set the tone in the past and women have rebelled and thus gained more rights, education etc. Could hollywood be like the corporate world, where the culture is made by men to keep men comfortable? So if a woman offers something too out there or without enough female nudity or without whatever elements are deemed necessary to make a good movie, its rejected in favor of things like Shoot-em-Up (which I actually liked), a very guy-friendly movie.

For a romantic comedy, appealing mainly to the female audience, it seriously lacked a feminine perspective. Brutally masculine.
