Why is he doing straight-to-dvd movies all the sudden


It's not like he's really canceled anymore as he already made a comeback with Hacksaw Ridge and was also in Daddy's Home 2. Now a lot of his recent movies (Panama, Hot Seat, Agent Game, Force of Nature etc) have all been straight-to-VOD movies where some of his roles are just minor. Why is he going the Willis route all the sudden?

Maybe to make as much money as possible to finance his Passion of the Christ sequel??
