As original films like "Novocaine" and "Mickey 17" struggle and "Captain America" and "Paddington" sequels fall short, when will the box office rebound?

How quickly stuff comes to streaming and how expensive theaters have gotten means that for mid stuff, people are content to wait. Brave New World got really bad word of mouth, hence the huge dropoff after opening weekend. Meanwhile Mickey 17 is pretty bizarre and probably with limited appeal so probably not a good example to use.
