The loss of DVD sales has changed the type of movies that are being created.
Matt Damon himself has explained how Good Will Hunting would not get made today because of this.
It is really simple too if you think of yourself as the investor in the film getting pitched.
"Will Hunting, a genius-level IQ but chooses to work as a janitor at MIT. When he solves a difficult graduate-level math problem, his talents are discovered by a professor"
Only an idiot would invest in that in 2024 but we are way past that. I imagine no one would even bother pitching that at all in 2024. Certainly wouldn't get a meeting with anyone.
There was a golden era of film not long ago and that era is gone forever. The Fountain might be the best example though. I love that movie but it lost millions of dollars even at the height of the golden era.
The future is going to be AI Batman vs Superman part 276.
