This is just a way to avoid failures and not try new stuff. Let's revive Indiana Jones or others, young people are not going to the movies anyway, better invest in the old folks that like old movies.

I think series has pretty much captured the young adult market, I can't remember the last time someone recommended an actual standalone movie that wasn't a die-hard Marvel fan.

Edit: Everything Everywhere I think a was the last one.

Not least, young adults are also probably the least able to actually shell out nearly £20 to go and see a film. Younger kids get taken by parents, older adults might get a living wage to afford it. Plus, in car-centric places, it's hard to even get to the cinema if you don't drive a car. Meanwhile Netflix is probably are already subscribed to, so it's "free", and it's right there at home.

I feel like adolescents are actually the key audience for theaters.
