I would think it's not just people avoiding his movies because he's a sexual assaulter, but the studios too. If I've got a several hundred million dollar project, I'm not going to make a known serial assaulter the face of it. I'm not going to want to be in any way liable if he assaults his female coworkers, I don't want to roll the dice that the public won't turn against him when more allegations start coming out. Not when there are other perfectly bankable stars who aren't confirmed sexual assaulters.

He's a proven liability and one would think studios would want to avoid him and keep their investment safe.
