Matt Damon said you can't make non-blockbuster films because streaming eroded the DVD sales that supported those films.
Matt Damon forgets that non-blockbuster films were popular before DVDs were invented.
In the 1950s people went to the movies often, sometimes more than once a week, just to hang out with their friends and be entertained. Today there's so many more ways and venues to achieve that goal, movies get a smaller and smaller slice of that pie. DVDs weren't the solution, they just put off the inevitable for a little longer.
