Yup that's what he talking about. Entire genres basically died because studios determined they were no longer financially viable. Remember all the black coming of age films that used to come out every other year? Or the erotic thrillers of the 80s/90s. Now the only way you will see niche films like that is via a major young star like Zendaya or Jacob Elordi signing on.
Seems like this year a lot of different films have found success at the theater, hopefully that continues. But even now think about how many films do well and then 4-6 weeks later it's on streaming. That's insane to me.
They're spending big money to expect a big payoff.
