Could also be that people are sick of reboots. Most are just crap.
Yep, I hear you about reboots.
I think the powers that be in Hollywood, think that a reboot/remake/sequel of popular movies and TV shows, have a built in “fan base”, so that any new movies in the series should do well.
That reasoning worked well for James Bond for decades.
Does it still work for the Star Wars movies?
In any event, it is not automatic that remakes and reboots will do well. Hollywood may learn that lesson.
This reminds me of the talk in recent years, that Hollywood has no imagination, no new storylines, which has turned us off from many movies and TV shows.
