I’ll say it will eventually be squeezed out of the market by other movies of the same genre.

But that doesn’t mean that every 10 or 20 years some executive will say “You know, we should make another Bond film.” This being part of the same phenomenon that’s brought us all those 60s, 70s and 80s movies. Until somehow 40 years pass in which one isn’t made and people forget.
