IMD (June 1027)
2017 has been a record year for the seemingly endless number of Hollywood sequels, reboots and remakes coming out. By the end of the year, Hollywood will have released 43 movies in one of these categories. These kinds of movies, while not very original, are thought to be safe bet cash cows for Hollywood studios. But, they are also lamented by Hollywood’s insiders who prophesize that these big budget movies will implode the industry once a majority of them start fail. With movie theatres being flooded with sequels, reboots and remakes, it seems that the US movie industry is either heading towards implosion or disruption. [emphasis added]
And guess what happened in 2023?
The Chive, 8/25/2023
In the year 2023, there are currently 900 sequels, prequels, and remakes in the works right now. Ok, that’s an exaggeration but it is an absurdly unnecessary amount and I’m gonna take a wild guess that only like 6% of them will be good. This list is proof that you just need to leave things be!
And the most recent box office tallies in 2024 indicate the situation is getting worse.
