I double-checked the earnings of major franchises. It’s the classic law of diminishing returns in action.
Look at how franchises like Transformers, Fast & Furious, the MCU, and the newer Star Wars movies have performed at the box office.
Some sequels keep earning more money as the franchise builds momentum, but at some point, the franchise peaks and fatigue kicks in. For example, after Avengers: Endgame, the MCU’s box office numbers started to decline. The same happened with Fast & Furious after its peak with movies like Fast 7. In the new Star Wars trilogy, the first movie earned the most due to nostalgia and curiosity, but the franchise quickly fell from grace after that.
Jurassic World is following a similar pattern. The new movies earned a lot partly because of the legacy and work of Spielberg’s original films. But fatigue is setting in here, too, with each new release making less than the last. I honestly hope this franchise will die one day.
