In addition to the aforementioned, computer-generated special effects
play a big part in many box-office hits, limiting the amount of actual
acting. Their star doesn't shine as bright anymore.

Themes come and go, along with how presented.  Audiences' mindsets can
affect what Hollywood supports.  Hollywood's 'thinkers' rejected Kevin
Costner's Dances with Wolves, but it did quite well.

Decent quality computer-generated special effects have been around
since later 1970s, but I still believe some actors will be 'desired.'

Newness - "Kids lose their enthusiasm for things when the sense of
newness wears off."

Newness can be effective....and various rock bands, etc., attempt to
invent/reinvent their acts.

I'd say computer-generated special effects has a market place, but
this too can get old.  As BB King said, The Thrill Is Gone
