I wonder if anyone has tracked the success of reboots in the past five years. The Red Dawn, Total Recall, and Dredd reboots all tanked, I'm trying to recall if there have been any successes.

From a quick search, the only reboots that have made over $100,000,000 (that is just the arbitrary point I picked) are The Amazing Spider Man and Robin Hood. There are a few other things like films that are only kind of a sequel like The Incredible Hulk, or sequels that are far in the future like Tron Legacy and Terminator Salvation, but there are not really reboots. TBH I was amazed whilst looking through how small a percentage of films are actually an original IP as opposed to a sequel, reboot or based on a true story or other media. Probably only 1 in 4 is an original idea, if that.
