What a waste of time. Rather than making new ips they would rather just rerelase basically the same movie again. Movie Studios take no risks anymore. Shameful

People always make this complaint, but I really can’t blame the movie studios. Moviegoers have shown time and time again, that as much as they complain about the lack of original IPs, they don’t go see them when they come out. Movie studios want to make money. If the public has shown again and again that they’ll fork out $20 for a remake or some generic superhero crap, while completely ignoring original films… well, which do you think the studios are going to embrace?
Even the few original films that do come out have to be marketed in the same way a remake if they want any attention. “From the Producers of Nostalgically Popular Movie”, “From the Director of Big Series Everyone Knows”, “Starring That Actor Who Was in All Those Other Films You Used to Love”. Original movies can’t stand on their own anymore. The few that do are the rare exception, not the rule.
