Saddened by this Movie industry

Hey guys(or anyone who might be reading this: pets, inanimate objects,  two-dimensional beings). I'm a little angry right now. Well, not really angry, disappointed *sighs*.  The movie industry could be doing so much better. A quick search of movies that are available in theaters, currently, yields this:

1.	Jurassic World
2.	Inside Out
3.	Spy
4.	San Andreas
5.	Dope
6.	Insidious: Chapter 3
7.	Pitch Perfect 2
8.	Mad Max: Fury Road
9.	The Avengers: Age of Ult...
10.	Tomorrowland

"What's wrong with it?" you might say. "Looks like a decent offering of movies," you might say. And I would be inclined to agree with you on some levels. I'm not saying that none of the movies on this list are good. I personally loved Jurassic World, The Avengers, and Fury Road. And I'm totally psyched to go see Inside Out whenever I get a chance. But let's look at a few interesting facts.  What at least half this list has in common ( I say at least, because Tomorrowland is debatable) is the fact that they are either reboots, or sequels.  In other words Hollywood has gotten lazy. 

In 2014 there were 30 sequels, prequels, or re-boots released: 300, Horrible Bosses, X-Men, Captain America, Cabin fever...just to name a few. (this is nationwide releases only)  How many original movies were there? 

In order to answer that question I have to break down what constitutes original. Is it original if it was based off of a book? How about a T.V. show? Video game?  If you include all those, there were 97 "original" nationwide released movies in 2014.  

Without video games, books, or T.V. shows to base movies off of, though, we are looking at 58 truly original movies, and some of those are documentaries. 

That means that if there were 127 nationwide releases last year, only 58 of them were actually original movies. A staggering 55% of the movies that were released last year, were either prequels, sequels, reboots, or adaptations. 

The things is, those are the movies making money. There were countless other amazing movies that came out last year that were shunted to the side and only given limited releases in favor of movies that were a sure bet to get people to shell out dollars. 

It's all about formulas, and giving the people what they are used to, what they are comfortable with, and what they will pay money to see, but it's the same stuff over and over again. I can't be the only one who's sick of it. In fact, I know I'm not. Mark Harris over at Grantland has an amazing article that talks about a lot of these same issues. 

I want to see ingenuity is cinema again. I want to be wowed again. I want movie creators to have to think, instead of just going, "hey, here's a comic book hero we haven't used yet."
