One of the biggest problems in Hollywood today is that they waste $250 million on one tent pole film instead of dozens of low budget, character driven films. It doesn't help that ticket prices have risen exponentially in the last 20 years, and "studio accounting" can call any film a financial failure on a whim, plus theaters are forced give 90% of the box office money to the studios forcing them to charge four bucks for tap water just to stay in business. Since going to the movies has gotten more and more expensive seemingly by the week, less people are going to theaters and forcing studios to dump everything but the most marketable films, since streaming has destroyed the DVD market that would have supported those niche films.

in other words, film fans are in the dark ages, and will get worse through compound interest decade by decade, until Hollywood collapses long after it should have.
