Because the human being is habitual and prefers something that is always familiar to him. So the same things will be produced with the same actors, Tom Hanks will be forced to make films up to 90 years and if he dies he will be simulated by the IA until the end of time.

People want the familiar. That's why mom & pop stores lost out to chain retailers, why your dad just wants to go to chilies again instead of trying out that new place that just opened.
As much as I was fed up with "Batman: Hulks Revenge - Infinity Multiverse Edition, a Groot and Thanos Love Story" ten years ago, I can't deny that they're popular titles. I just hope that movie makers will shift back to originality at some point.
But for now, due to the shift in how media is consumed, they're unlikely to go for anything that is not a safe choice, which sadly means that they'll stick to sequels or renoots of established brands.

It's simple, money!
Did they remove the footage of the Beirut explosion?
Yeah, saw that on corridor crew. Bad taste.
For various reasons I have mainly moved from watching movies/series to audio books, one plus is that there are way more books available than movies, and most of the time the book is better than the movie. Its also much easier to read a book in many parts, compared to watching a movie in parts.
The top 2 movies this year were not sequels, reboots, or remakes:
https://www.boxofficemojo.com/year/2023/?ref_=bo_yl_table_1
1 Barbie $635,171,975
2 The Super Mario Bros. Movie $574,934,330
2 more in the top 10:
5 Oppenheimer $323,715,325
10 Sound of Freedom $184,038,874
So 4 out of the top 10, including the top 2 are new to film.
Not bad... The reason the Creator didn't do well is that it's apparently not very good:
Of course, there is an inevitable sequel coming to one of these movies...
Bad

Here's why.
That's a complete non-sequitur. And TCD has no clue what he's talking about.
Not true at all but keep seeking the magic reason!
It's a multitude of factors I can share many more.
