Are movie remakes ruining Hollywood?

Remakes are a symptom of risk-averse studio economics, not the cause of Hollywood's creative problems.

Remakes are a fraction of output and the originals remain untouched, so blaming them mistakes Hollywood's risk-aversion for the cause.

Remakes are a safe bet in a risk-averse industry, but franchise obsession and streaming economics hurt Hollywood far more.

Remakes stifle original storytelling by prioritizing safe, nostalgic intellectual property over creative risk-taking.
