The whole point of making a costly sequel is it can’t be a total disaster. If nothing else, “Joker: Folie à Deux” proved that is not the case.
Well, if studios can accept that sequels and remakes actually aren’t immune from being flops, maybe they will be more open to considering new ideas? I won’t get my hopes up, but it’s a nice thought.
Seems more likely to push them to make even safer financial decisions, like re-releasing the movies that performed well earlier in the year, or pushing out AI video generator content.

Technically, the sequel was an attempt to innovate. Who would think to make a jukebox musical for comic book nerds?
And not even like having a good soundtrack like GotG, but Sucker Punch but they replaced the fight scenes with full on musical numbers.
