DVD sales fell off a clif in 2006-2010.

But streaming did not get any significant market share before ~2014.

DVD was replaced by "non-consumption". My guess is that blue-ray should have been the replacement, but they were priced too high, so consumers dropped buying movies for a while.

Social media networks and smart phones came around at that time, and in conjunction with increasing popularity of video games probably destroyed a lot of demand for video content.

There was simply a lot more choice for how one can spend time, and a ton of it at a higher cost to enjoyment ratio than movie tickets or DVD or Blu Ray.

Oops, I meant to write “a ton of it at a lower cost to enjoyment ratio”.
