There’s less and less original movies these days.
Instead cinemas are investing more in sequels like Gladiator 2, Deadpool 3, and BeetleJuice 2.
Adaptations of popular stage films like Wicked.
Prequels to established hits like Paddington in Peru.
It’s all because movies are both expensive to make and subjective.
Therefore this presents a big financial risk for studios and throw in today’s fragmented media landscape and studios have no idea what will bring a return on investment.
So they turn to the tried and tested to attempt to guarantee a profit.
