Matt Damon gave an interview and made this point. Back when he started producing in the 1990s the DVD release gave a movie a second life. That gave the creators a little leeway to play around. Now a movie is tie to a big opening weekend, so the makers have to stick closer to the formula.

That doesn’t make sense anymore. Streaming is the post-theater “second life” for movies now.

It’s a different revenue stream. “Highlander” wasn’t a box office success, but it got a second life thanks to VHS/DVD sales.
