Going to the movies is still very much a thing, you only need to look as far as hits like Dune Part II, Godzilla x Kong The New Empire, (and to a lesser extent Godzilla Minus One) the Mario movie, Barbie, and Oppenheimer.

The problem is that most Hollywood movies these days are such godawful trash that they've torched whatever goodwill they once had and people are much less willing to give the benefit of the doubt to anything that looks vaguely suspect.

The problem is it costs $18-$20 a ticket for a movie that will probably be on streaming in 6-9 weeks, and there was a lengthy strike pushing back a bunch of movies just as box office was just finding its footing again with Barbie + Oppenheimer. 

I don't think movies are actually that much worse, there's a lot of shit released in the 90s and 2000s and 2010s, there were plenty of shitty blockbusters and movies in general back then too. 

If back in the day movies released on DVD or VHS just a few weeks after their theaterical release, you can't tell me that wouldn't impact the box office of movies like Titanic, Jurassic Park, The Dark Knight, etc. etc. etc. 

Streaming absolutely cuts into many movies at the box office, but I feel like quality is also a factor; with budgets having grown so big there's so little risk or creativity in Hollywood these days, as it's hard to justify taking risks with that amount of money. 

Female-led spinoffs are also something a lot of folks have tired of, as such films often tend to push preachy messaging.
