I frankly think it's too late.

I think they've successfully rewired the American demographic to only want Iron Man 8 and the Minecraft-Star Wars crossover. I talk to people in my family and they just cannot show any interest in films outside these major franchises. I think even something like Oppenheimer was only popular because Nolan did it and they know him from Batman. It's like their brains are broken to the possibility of anything else or a new story.

But also theaters suck now, people show no consideration for others in the audience.
