A bit off topic but the ~~film industry~~ Hollywood has stagnated quite a bit since a lot of investors have pivoted into video games a decade ago.

Combined with the craphouse that is streaming, and you don't have a good environment for new & fresh ideas to be taken seriously.

All that remains is franchise monoliths that studios have been aggressively recycling for content, and poor executions thay don't have any resemblance of an artistic vision or concept.

Don't worry, there are still a lot of interesting and great films out there, just maybe not in the same capacity and/or quality as before.

Going through old one off films from the 80s and 90s with mediocre or poor reviews often seem like they'd do pretty well if released today, especially in the streaming space.

Bear in mind half of that is real-money charges inside "free" games. An abusive business model that should be illegal.
