It’s a cycle, safe movies made money for a few years, so studios went all in on safe, well known, well loved IPs. They got complacent and didn’t do the actual work needed to make them good.
Soon they’ll see an independent upstart outsell a known IP, and they’ll go all in on small time filmmakers. Most of them will make a little better than average draws, but nothing extraordinary.
Then James Cameron will make Avatar 6, it’ll make $17 billion opening weekend, and we’ll be back at the start.
