Doesn't most movies earn back the money the first days/weeks in the cinemas?
But you might have a point for tv series. I suspect they have gotten much more expensive to make the last 1-2 decades.

If they started paying everyone minimum wage and cut production costs they could.

Good luck forcing everyone to work for minimum wage. They’d leave for other industries, we don’t have a command economy.

Acting is a calling. We would lose many pretty faces but the people remaining would be extremely talented perhaps more average looking.
There are a lot of people in community theater now who would love a bigger audience. Tons of youtube creators would gladly make shows for the masses if the networks would have them many would even pay.
$10 to fund equivalent production of new movies and TV shows? Impossible. Profits in the media industry aren’t that high, so reducing the amount of incoming monthly money to less than a single movie ticket or 1/6 of a cable subscription means that they can’t afford to produce nearly as much content as they do right now.
