Franchises and sequels dominated the 2024 box office. The only movie in the top 15 not based on an existing film was "Wicked," which was based on a Broadway musical.
The average person is tired from having to work themselves to exhaustion just to support themselves and their family. Often they just want something easy to watch, without the commitment of something with more depth.
Nobody is saying original films don’t exist. People just want them to get the big budget treatment. We want Disney, Sony, and all the others to dump millions into high quality original content in addition to the plethora of smaller original films we currently consume.
Lol, no they don’t. If they did they would support original films at the theater. The reason those films don’t get the treatment is because when they do, people don’t buy tickets.
This is so weirdly adversarial. It can be true that the people that express their desire for original movies online do in fact go and see them in theaters, but that number is simply dwarfed by the number of people that only see movies with massive marketing budgets that only exist for established franchises.
It’s not an issue of intelligence or what people are entertained by, it’s an issue of what attracts people to a theater and pay lots of money before the film comes to streaming. Not everyone cares for or can afford a regular theater experience anymore, particularly for lower key films.
I tried my best to not believe this but the moment I’m watching alien romulus and when the the get away from her you bitch line came up and everyone cheered in the theater. Is the day my hope for other humans died when it came to film.
I’m gonna sound like a dick and expect downvotes for this but the average person is dumb and easy to entertain

And the people who complain about wanting original films on the Internet are also dumb and refuse to seek them out or go see them in the theater.

With corporate bankrolling comes corporate meddling.

I mean, we re-elected a lying narcissist who’s going to destroy the country and hasn’t demonstrated otherwise. We’re a pretty dumb people
