Block buster movies are not dead in the sense of mass appeal and money making.
However the movies made these days are made as eye appeal specials and aimed at a generation of viewers that have relatively short attention spans. FX makes them relatively cheaper to produce and they don't get fully absorbed before the next one comes along.
The older type of "Blockbuster" was made with far less "movie magic", cost relatively much more to make and distribution to the world generally took longer. The people watching them had fewer other entertainment options so the effects were more lasting. So much so that quite a few of them have since become known as "classics"
