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

Mickey 17 threw a decent amount of what made Mickey 7 good under the bus to make it have a reasonable run time and in turn added in some new themes that simply didn’t work (imo). It’s particularly grating that they added in new background scenes but cut the history of other colonies. I’d argue it’s also an explicit, and typical, Hollywood betrayal of the working man but you need to see the movie and read the book to get into it.
I liked it just fine, overall, but it’s no Parasite.
Captain America had a pretty similar problem in that it was just okay for what it was, and just okay doesn’t get Disney another billion dollars anymore.
The point is, people can complain about the movie going experience vs streaming at home but the reality is that the movies were just mid in the first place.
