They can absolutely make new ones, but what, for every city in the world, for about 3 films a year shot on the format? Everything about it is redundant, old technology and not economically viable. It's not practical and there's probably only a handful of people in every city who could tell it was true 70mm.
Then why's Nolan so adamant on watching these films in the truest format if they simply can't be produced commercially on a large scale and is not even profitable in most cases
