Maybe if they made more movies that sane people would want to see, the numbers would be different.

Back in the ‘80s I went to three movies a week, on average. In the 90s it was maybe one a week. in the 00s it was maybe three a year. in the 10s it has been zero; There just haven’t been many movies that I was even slightly interested. in. And those few, I could wait until they came out on regular TV, or buy the DVD

Movies are very old-school in delivery; large buildings filled with people, and the operators make more money off popcorn and soda than movie ticket receipts. And the movies rely heavily on cartoon technology much more developed than what "Roger Rabbit" used.

Today almost every cable channel makes their own. They are the "Republic" studios of the 21st century. You can watch them in your own place, on your own schedule, with your own popcorn, or snack of choice. And less reliance on cartoon tech for special effects.
