I think there should be a rule at this point an IP can only get one reboot every 15 years and it has to be won in a director competition because this is ridiculous! It feels surreal how many reboots and remakes they make and they are usually always for the worst.

So are you tired of them to?

    Number 4 movie of the year:

    Jurassic World: Rebirth $339,640,400

    Last year:

    Number 111 Megalopolis $7,629,085

    So it sure doesn’t look like people are tired of reboots and remakes yet.

      Is it though? While I didn’t watch either, I heard of one. Over and over. Everywhere. This is the first time I’ve heard of the other.

      At least some of this is also self-fulfilling, not just what people want to watch

        Megalopolis was a passion project for Francis Ford Coppola for decades and was well discussed in the media when it came out.

        It was a struggle to go see it because nobody went and it largely vanished in a week.

          I could argue similar issues with even big budget popular movies. They seem to be in theaters only a few weeks and I struggle to see even these.

          That was one of my reasons for considering becoming a frequent moviegoer. I’ve only ever gone to movies I want to see, which works out to at most a half dozen per year. But given needing to pick up new hobbies, being able to afford seeing things in theaters, and how many I’ve missed out on, would it be so bad to join one of those clubs where you see a movie every couple weeks?

      Jurassic world afterbirth was one of the worst movies I’ve ever seen in my life. And I enjoy bad movies, just not like that.
