Creating new IP is a long term strategy that harms short term objectives at the benefit of long term ones.

Most execs are not incentivized to do anything but max this quarters profit. Execs are only concerned with the immediate as their salaries are based on quarterly and annual objectives.

The system is designed to race to the bottom. Who can create the most revenue while providing the very least to the consumer.

Fair point. That's why I wouldn't be shocked to see theatrical re-releases overshadow new movies at the cinemas within the next few years.
