Netflix and other streamers need lots of new movies and series and they can't make enough of them. In order to meet the demand of streamers, a lot of production companies have drastically reduced cost by making movies abroad using relatively unknown actors, directors, and writers. Where major productions in Hollywood typically take 45 days of shooting, these low cost productions are usually done in 15 to 30 days. In those productions when actors forget their lines and ques, the scene doesn't need to be reshot since the movie is going to be dubbed in a half dozen languages. Such productions might cost as much 10 to 20 million. The production company can sell the rights to streaming companies in US and abroad and theater distribution companies in a dozen or more countries and make a tidy profit off of a movie that would have ended up on the cutting room floor a few decades ago.
If you want to encourage good quality movie making support local theaters that show good movies with talented actors, directors and writers.
