Well, if studios can accept that sequels and remakes actually aren't immune from being flops, maybe they will be more open to considering new ideas? I won't get my hopes up, but it's a nice thought.
Seems more likely to push them to make even safer financial decisions, like re-releasing the movies that performed well earlier in the year, or pushing out AI video generator content.
Technically, the sequel was an attempt to innovate. Who would think to make a jukebox musical for comic book nerds?
And not even like having a good soundtrack like GotG, but Sucker Punch but they replaced the fight scenes with full on musical numbers.
"Batman and Robin" has entered the chat.
I can think of a dozen successful science fiction novels that have been in publication as long, or longer than 'Dune.' Same thing with mystery series like Kinsey Malone [A is For Alibi] Any of them would have a built in audoence, but the execs will fo with something that's been tried fifty times before because it's got a track record.
"John Carter" wasn't a perfect movie, but it was a fun ride and failed mostly to bad marketing. I would have loved to see more.
I noped out after the first ten minutes.
Here's a really good one that died at the box office. "The Rhythm Section" with Blake Lively. It had the bad luck to come out in early 2020, right when everything shut down.
It takes all the 'revenge on terrorist' tropes and upends them.
