Really?Name the last WWI movie that was out before 1917? How bout WWII movies before the last 3 years or so? I'm talking between the 90's and 10's here.
WWI has been mostly overlooked by Hollywood. When I say war movies could be their own genre, I mean any war. WWII is probably the most popular but there have been plenty on Vietnam and the Gulf War as well. Last big one I can remember before last year was Hacksaw Ridge in 2016. In the last few years we've also had Overlord, Fury, Unbroken, Lone Survivor, and American Sniper just to name a few.

WW1 has been overlooked by the general public, not just Hollywood. That said, Steven Spielberg made WAR HORSE. Even Spielberg couldn't make a bunch of money on WW1.
I do like intentionally off period pieces like THE FAVOURITE. It's not entirely loyal to the time period, and throws in some modern flair to help modern viewers connect with the story. Also, because it was funny. But there's something to be said to flipping the bird to all of the pedants who would object to the cross stitching of the jackets or whatever. Just admit it's inaccurate ad move on.
