Lower production costs also means competitors will have an easier time producing content. Hollywood studios have been the gatekeepers of culture but that's going to be more and more difficult for them to enforce as the limiting factor on movie making becomes more about creating desirable storytelling and less about wealth. These hugely expensive CGIfests seem to be the last ditch attempt at setting a bar that only the incumbent studio can meet. Someone will come along with a compelling story and a meager budget and end up showing up the nth iteration of whatever comicbook character they're pushing at the moment.
