My wife and I used to go to the movies a lot, too. Do you know what happened?
We got older.
Weird, huh? And now, my wife doesn't go to the movies ever (almost ever, I should say) because she prefers art films which are just as good on the large TV screen at home, and cheaper.
Whereas I will still go with the kids- but not nearly as often, and I don't go NEARLY as much as the oldest kid who goes on his own all the time with the other kids from his class.
Says who? I mean, it depends on how you define reboot, right? There are almost no original IPs, so ... let's look at 2018.
Of the top 20 (20!) movies (Domestic US), 3 were original IP-
Bohemian Rhapsody #10 (Jukebox Biopic)
A Quiet Place #16 (Horror, the one genre that can consistently do decently with new IP)
Crazy Rich Asians #17 (RomCom!)
The rest were-
Marvel Cinematic Universe (including Sony Spiderman and Fox Mutants)-
Nos. 1, 2, 6, 9, 13, 15
DC Universe
#5
Star Wars Universe
#12
Potterverse
#20
Sequels
Nos. 3 (Incredibles 2), 8 (MI 6), 14 (Wreck it 2- internet), 19 (Transylvania 3)
Reboots
Nos. 4 (JW Reboot/Sequel), 7 (Grinch), 11 (Star is Born), 18 (Mary Poppins Returns)
#21 was, of Course, Halloween, the Reboot/Sequel.
PR always says they are targeting at everyone. For blockbusters/franchises (as we are discussing) they are targeting teens - 39. You aren't it.
Disney .... is an exception to everything. But it helps to own all IP, forever, in a synergistic fashion, right?
