And THAT is why we don’t go to the movies anymore.

Percentage of sequels are still below the previous peak in the early 90’s.

All this means is sequels get better.

I wouldn’t have a problem with sequels if they were as good as the originals

Inside Out 2 , Deadpool & Wolverine, Despicable Me 4, Moana 2, Dune Part Two, Godzilla x Kong, Kung Fu Panda 4, Venom The Last Dance, Mufasa: The Lion King

Spots 11-20 on the 2024 Box Office List also has 8 Sequels & 2 IP titles.

The top ‘Original’ movie seems to be IF at #24.

Might be a hot take, but I think sequels are great. It’s impossible to set up a complex arc or do in depth world building in a single 2 hour move. Having sequels let’s you develop far richer worlds and more complex narratives over several movies.
