Because remakes, sequels, and reboots get massive budgets and advertising dollars and are an ever increasing percentage of Hollywood profits?
My favorite is when people act like this is a “weird complaint” when it’s just a fact lol.
In 1993, 2 of the top 20 highest grossing films were a remake, reboot, prequel, sequel or spin-off.
In 2013, it was 14.
in 2018, it was 16.
