> Until the year 2000, about 25% of top-grossing movies were prequels, sequels, spinoffs, remakes, reboots, or cinematic universe expansions. Since 2010, it’s been over 50% ever year. In recent years, it’s been close to 100%.

Coincidentally, it was about then (2010) that I stopped going to mainstream movies. Or perhaps not so coincidentally. I stopped because I stopped liking the movies that I did see, and perhaps that list explains why.

Instead of going out to the movies, I started going out to see live theater.
