So it has dropped from what...200 to 100 a year? Meanwhile, access to international markets has gone up insanely. So, are there *really* less options out there for people who want non-blockbuster movies?

I even find it funny that for you a non blockbuster movie is something like Knives Out. That was still a bit of a popcorn film. There are tons of small, indie movies out there (in 2019 some of the best were The Souvenir, Birds of Passage, and The Last Black Man in San Francisco.

I said that the non-blockbuster movies that get made tend to fall into specific niches. "Indie drama" is one of those niches (along with, for instance, mumblecore-influenced indie comedy and Blumhouse horror). Knives Out is a relevant example precisely because it's *not* in any of those specific niches (and because it's a mid-budget film that falls between indie cheapies and blockbusters, which is the specific film segment that's been the most dramatically hollowed out).

If you're looking for a non-blockbuster film that's not an indie drama, it gets much harder. And some people - believe it or not - don't care for indie dramas, not because they're ignorant or because unaware of them, but simply as a matter of taste.
