Answer
High production costs, a shift in audience preferences, and a reliance on historical epics contributed to the commercial failures of D.W. Griffith's later films. The lavish sets, costumes, and casts he employed were expensive and often exceeded box office returns. While Griffith excelled in silent cinema, the advent of "talkies" posed challenges for him as a filmmaker.
