Why risk putting money in something new that hasn't been thoroughly market tested so that it's guaranteed to appeal to the widest possible audience, when you can just churn out sequels to existing properties that won't really offer anything new let alone challenging, and be sure that the studio executives will be getting new yachts again this year?
