I agree with your point about it inspiring ...better film making and originality, that is sorely needed. However, to see a film doesn't mean getting back into the theater, especially since theaters started dying/declining even before COVID, dating back in the early 2000's. Great films aren't going to save movie houses. Streaming took away all the downsides of seeing a film; cost, audience annoyances, bad food and travel time to see one. They will still be around, like drive-in theaters were for film buffs and nostalgia.
