Will movie makers come up with original concepts instead of remaking anything they can get their hands on?

Give me an example of what you mean by "original concept".

I think you'll be surprised how many "classics" we love from the past 30 years are also remakes from even older movies/adaptations.

Fucking Hamlet was a remake of an earlier play. There's nothing new under the sun.

No because moviegoers don't go and see those movies. Northman came out this year and bombed. There's been original IP made that was really good and people don't see it. That's why Horror movies like Smile and Barbarian are now getting studios to start investing more money and release dates onto original horror IP. When people show up for a big original action movie or science fiction movie more will be made.

The money is gonna come in regardless so I’ll never understand why they keep doing it.

I’m pretty sure a film with Donald Glover, Beyoncé, Seth Rogen and James Earl Jones would be pretty successful regardless of if it involves terrible CGI animals or not.
