That's not true. No blockbuster film is keeping any other film from being made. Movie studios need tent pole films to fund the smaller films. Without big films, little films don't get made.
The problem is with the audience not the studio. To get a blockbuster, it must be an animated movie, a live action remake of an animated film or a movie connected to an existing action-adventure movie/comic world (Marvel, Star Wars Fast&Furious, Jurassic World, etc.)
Just looking at the top 10 highest grossing films of the aughteens, here are the only stand alone non-animated movies:
The Martian, Interstellar, Gravity (people like space), Inception and Bohemian Rhapsody.
The aughts had:
The Hangover, Avatar, 2012, Hancock, Mama Mia, I am Legend, 300, Angels and Demons, The Da Vinci Code, Night at the Museum, Troy, The Day After Tomorrow, The Passion of Christ, Bruce Almighty, The Last Samurai, Signs, Minority Report, My Big Fat Greek Wedding, Lord of the Rings, Oceans 11, Pearl Harbor, Cast Away, Gladiator, What Women Want, Met the Parents, Meet the ####ers, Hannibal,The Perfect Storm and What Lies Beneath.
