Hollywood has been profiting off of remakes basically from the very beginning. Here’s a short list of some of the most popular. And before movies, you might be shocked to learn that stage performers regularly “remade” productions originally performed by other groups. Anyone performing Hamlet or that Scottish play after The Globe burned downed is a fucking hack apparently.
Comment on The Crow reboot producer is surprised the original filmmakers aren't more accepting of the new movie

Can’t wait for us to finish remaking every film, so we can start remaking the remakes. Fucking write a new movie, bunch of actual hacks

I found out recently that Anyone But You was just a remake of Much Ado About Nothing, which I mean… Is there anything Will Shakespeare hasn’t touched!?

Nah man, I don’t have an issue with doing other people’s plays etc, same way as I don’t have an issue with cover bands :)

Freaky Friday (2018) is a remake of Freaky Friday (2003) which was a remake of Freaky Friday (1976) which was an adaptation of the book Freaky Friday (1972).
Thankfully though Freaky Friday (2018) is no longer canon as Freakier Friday (2025) is a sequel to Freaky Friday (2003).
Oh and don’t forget about Disney’s Freak Friday (1995) which was made for TV and premiered on ABC.
