Matt Damon: Superheroes & streaming ruining cinema

Everyone's more interested in their phones these days. You get to watch drama unfolding in real time. Real people battling in the comments section, smart v dumb, smart v smart, dumb v dumb, it's the most engrossing thing there is. There's always someone talking, always something happening.

I also think nostalgia is a sign of depression and that's where many people's heads are. If they're not watching the comments section on their phone, they're retreating into reruns of shows/films they've already watched. I've heard reruns are a favorite tool of people with anxiety because they can rely on nothing unexpected happening, which puts their mind at ease. Take that and combine it with ratings that are lower across the board. The NBA, The Oscars, WWE, The Grammy Awards are all down, probably because reruns of Futurama et al are more reliable.
