Why is Hollywood hell bent on not creating original IP ever again? It seems like every movie is either a sequel, a reboot, a reimagining, etc. Does anyone just sit down and say "Hey, let's create a brand new story with new characters and new ideas!"
Could it be that we are tired of seeing the same old stories with some "controversial" changes and then months of press complaining about people wanting to see or not wanting to see it?
It couldn't be my imagination that in the 90s there were way less sequels/reboots.
Original movies are still being made, they're just not advertised as much as IP-based movies.
3 out of how many though?
