I think Hollywood has been churning out derivative content for a while, and catering for "modern audiences" (as opposed to the silent majority) too much.

One or two exceptions - Project Hail Mary, for example.

But the decline of Marvel, Star Trek and Star Wars franchises has been stark.

https://www.youtube.com/@TheCriticalDrinker has some great commentary on the problem.

Also, a number of other factors:

    * massive TVs are cheap now
    * people behave disrespectfully in cinemas
    * cinema tickets are now unaffordable for the low end of the market
    * the experience hasn't modernised and become luxy enough to retain the high end of the market
    * streaming services have high budgets now
