If Spielberg can't even get a feature length film made anymore that's not some comic book character and has to go to Netflix... Then the movie busieness is basically finished.

Understand that Lord of the Rings, a gargantuan movie trilogy, is basically the length of 1 season of a series. So much was cut out to make it more concise and to save time, but it all could have been included in a series, if the studio is willing to commit. Prime apparently has with the new Tolkien series, they've thrown an ungodly amount of money at it.
A book adaptation is perfect for a series, you can basically go chapter to episode.
You probably can get more money from a successful blockbuster movie, but if you want to tell a story, a series on HBOMax, Prime or Netflix is the way to go. Spielberg has enough money, he probably wants to craft something deep.
