To hear Matt Damon tell it, it's because there's no longer a secondary home video market for films. When people could be expected to buy a film after it had left theaters, studios could take more chances, because they could recoup some of their expenses through video sales. Now that people mainly stream movies instead of buying them, theater ticket sales are more important, and what gets people to the movies is big, tropey spectacles.

You might very well say, "but look here, Matt Damon. They used to make well-written mature films for adults before home video existed." And I think he would respond with, "but there wasn't on-demand streaming back then. Your best chance to see a movie was to go to the theater, which meant more people went."

In any case, I don't know for sure that he's right. But I do think the economics of filmmaking have gotten more uncertain, and that drives the creation of "safe" films over better written and more interesting ones.
