I read that there is a cultural shift in how and when people go to the theaters, the pricing makes go to the movies a more rare occasion, same with the option with streaming, so I figure there is less “movie people” that goes regularly to watch different things and more “entertainment people” that goes to have a good time with friends or family, like going to an amusement park, so people prefer more “safer bets” and movies for the whole family. At the same time with declining revenue theaters are focusing on movies that appeal to the largest possible public.
I truly wonder if the same is reflected in streaming. Sure this generic movies are always on the top 10 when they come out but maybe there is more viewership to other niche movies in aggregate.

What this proves is that theaters do better with big spectacle films (like franchise films tend to be). When I watch a trailer, I decide if I want to watch it at home or at a theater and I only really go to the theater for movies like Twisters or Deadpool & Wolverine. Smaller films are better enjoyed on the couch at home. Just my take.
