If there’s one thing we can count on Hollywood for, it’s successfully beating us over the head with recycled and overly abundant movie franchises. Between recasting, rebooting and reviving, none of our favorite franchises are safe from the Dr. Frankenstein mentality of the entertainment industry. Before you know it, there will be two separate reboots planned for my favorite childhood movie “Ghostbusters.” Wait, this is already happening?! Anyway, here is a look at some of the most frequently rehashed movie franchises of all time, with financial proof of why they keep happening (it’s all our fault).
Notes:
– Probably the most popular German Shepherd of all time, Rin Tin Tin (aka Rinty) appeared in 27 Hollywood films from 1922 to 1931. Unfortunately, we were unable to find official box office numbers for his movies.
– The “Fast and Furious” franchise is the only one with a film currently on the big screen, but the Marvel Cinematic Universe is up next. And yes, an eighth installment of “Fast and Furious” is happening.
