eh, musically, Evita and Phantom sucked ass as movies (and, to be honest, they're not that spectacular as musicals either, but at least they're relatively entertaining). I've actually been surprised they did as WELL as they did considering how crappy they are.
Either way, something like musicals that fill a niche are going to ebb and flow in terms of popularity. Just like opera has never really been all that popular (contrary to popular notions of history), musicals will never truly be mainstream.
