Imagine the creativity that would flourish if financial interests would invest in new stories rather than beating the corpses of long dead cows for that last morsel of profit.
I can't believe executives aren't looking at this reboot/remake phase and going like "reusing IP is great, let's make new IP so that we can make new franchises"
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.
