Everybody hates sequels when they sit down and think about it. But, when they don't... When it's "Eh... Let's go see a movie. What's playing?" They are faced with two investment choices: One selection of high-risk, unknown, unproven, original movies Vs. another selection of low-risk, familiar, proven productions --some of which are well-known to be liked by their group and others are well-understood to be skippable.
The "Eh... Let's go to a movie" scenario makes up a far larger portion of the total revenue than the carefully researched, highly anticipating planners. It should be no surprise that they spend so much on sequels and adaptations.
- kbutler 9y agoPeople love sequels that are good movies - movies that tell you more about a beloved world and characters and recapture or extend the feeling of a good previous film. The problem is too many sequels are simply not good movies - they exist only because they can sell tickets based on the strength of the previous film(s). They reduce or dilute the overall experience of the franchise.
