Yes, you’re definitely right about reboots reflecting the preference of customers. But what leads to shifts in movie customer preferences?
It seems to me that movie audiences want to see a combination of newer, bigger, and better. A movie that doesn’t seem like a new story, or a similar story but a bigger scale, or a similar story told better, doesn’t seem to interest audiences in general. It’s that feeling of “I’ve seen all of this before.”
Is there a limit to how many new stories we can create, how big in scale the stories are, and how well we can tell the stories? Marvel / Star Wars / Disney are having massive success retelling similar stories but in larger scale and with better CGI and technology than before. How can they keep getting bigger or better indefinitely though?
(This is besides other current market factors like a larger international audience which has its own preference for movies which changes demand for certain types of films. Also I don’t mean that we will every stop making movies, just that it will be clear to us that the most significant films are in the past at some point.)
