Some of the good material that would have been turned into movies in the past gets turned into television/streaming shows now. Game of Thrones occupies the kind of cultural space that something like Star Wars did during the original trilogy.
It's not that that material doesn't exist, it's simply that it no longer is the sole domain of the movie format.

Game of Thrones is a cool show that people enjoy watching, which happens to be emblematic of the current trend of long-form, character-driven drama with a bug budget. Star Wars was a more of a complete revolution.
