Not a single original film broke the box office top 15 in 2024
People on the Internet often say that they want more original movies, but the box office proves that this isn’t always the case.
This is why Hollywood keeps making sequels, reboots, and adaptations, because they make more money than original movies.
And for that matter, original movies are still being made - they’ve just skipped theaters and moved to streaming (again, because they’re not as profitable as preexisting IP).
People have voted with their wallets. This is what the general public wants, whether we like it or not.

What this proves is that theaters do better with big spectacle films (like franchise films tend to be). When I watch a trailer, I decide if I want to watch it at home or at a theater and I only really go to the theater for movies like Twisters or Deadpool & Wolverine. Smaller films are better enjoyed on the couch at home. Just my take.
