Maybe, just maybe...the movie sucked and no one wanted to see it.
Exactly. Making a movie with a female centric cast and then blaming misogyny when it fails is a horrible crutch at best and a total cop out at worst. Look at Ghostbusters 2016. A bad movie is a bad movie. Barbie succeeded because it was a good movie.
