Exactly, I mean I remember talking to the neighbours kid about Charlie's Angels opening ... not only did they have no clue what the hell that was, they didn't even know who Drew Barrymore was, when I tried explaining the "recent" 2000s reboot, lol. I realized even the early 2000s are ancient to them. 

The only movies from the 30s/40s/50s that I related to as a kid of the 80s/90s was Wizard of Oz and Disney animated films, but anything else .... fuuuuuuuuuuck no. 

Indeed. 

As for the new Charlie's Angel movie, my wife and looked at each other funny when news was talking about how bad it opened given that neither of us even knew said movie was even coming out. 

There's basically only a handful of things that are reliable money makers at the movies now 

1.) Marvel or DC comic book movies

2.) Star Wars

3.) Low budget horror movies 

4.) Kids CGI animated films

5.) Disney reboots (and even this not always)

6.) Jurassic Park

The comedy, drama, traditional action film, romance genres are basically becoming extinct theatrically. 80s/90s reboots ... forget it, leave that shit for straight to Netflix/Youtube/Disney+/Amazon Prime (see: Cobra Kai, did ok for a web series, would have flopped as a feature film).
