They risk a hell of a lot of money when creating a film, specially with today's standards of quality FX & CGI, star power ect..ect. Hollywood is a victim of it's own success. They are in the biz to make money, so making money safely means going with "predicable success".
There are lots of original films out there to be seen, you just have to accept they won't have the production quality of big budget Hollywood. Netfix has a "decent" amount of foreign & Indie films, browse their library and you will find some decent non Hollywood re-hashed shit.

I probably have at least 30-35 movies in my instant watch queue on Netflix that are indie movies or movies that I have read good stuff about and understand to be good. There are also a few that I have scene, liked and want to see again. There is plenty of good stuff out there for those who want to spend a few minutes to look for it.
If a person is just going to watch the movies that get multi-million dollar ad campaigns they are likely going to be disappointed more often than not.
