>>213339158 (OP)Studios are apparently going all in with these mid-budget reboots because blockbuster sequels have become an uncertain investment.
Reboots otoh cost much less (including the actors' fees) and have a considerable shelf-life on streaming etc unless they are beyond shitty-
Meaning: they're fodder for casual viewers and one element in the movie industry strategy to put their eggs in several baskets. Expect much more r-rated movies w/ medium budgets to be released from now on
