      Of the top 10 box office movies last year 9 were sequels, prequels or remakes. The exception was Wicked, as an adaptation of a very established IP.

      I wish that were true but people go bonkers over copy pastes.

      • Marvel films
      • Ubisoft games
      • Call of duties
      • sports games
      • Nintendo games
      • Souls games
      • Battlefields
      • star wars -bethesda games

      None of them are original, all of them are at best small iterations upon previous few. Majority of the people don’t seem to want something great and different. They want something safe and good-enough.

        Yeah, that’s not the reason this one is failing. I think it’s much simpler… it looks terrible and the CG dwarves are disgusting.

      I haven’t cared about any of their live-action remakes so far, but I have to admit I’m looking forward to the Lilo & Stitch one.

      EDIT: And I just looked it up and apparently Jumba and Pleakley will appear human most of the time. Never mind!
