Unlike original games like The Witcher 3, Fallout 4, GTA 5, Red Dead Redemption 2, Hitman 3, Far Cry 6, Destiny 2, Overwatch 2, Grand Turismo 7, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II,
Resident Evil 2?

Or original games like DOOM (2016) or Tomb Raider (2013)?

It is definitely true that the mid-budget original movie has mostly disappeared, and some original movies only have a limited theatrical release, but have you seen:

I'm Thinking of Ending Things

The Favourite

The Witch

The Lighthouse

Power of the Dog

Lady Bird

BlacKkKlansman

Mandy

Midsommar

Portrait of a Lady on Fire

Nomadland

The Shape of Water

?

Some of my favorite games are sequels or reboots, and the last 5 years or there have been quite a few original movies, and that's with a worldwide pandemic that disrupted movie production.
