      Would be interesting to see this data excluding the original movies that weren’t big enough hits to be worth remaking

      They’ll have to buy up more franchises to remake. Live action Studio Ghibli anyone?

      Love the satirical spirit behind the graph. They deserved to be called out. Like, who needs a live action version of everything we enjoyed as cartoons and animations as kids

      Does this really count as data? I mean, you’ve used *some* data, but the rest of it is just a projection of the future, and contains no data.

      A while back I ran a similarly-silly projection to conclude that, based on the actors’ ages, the 2047 Spiderman reboot will feature an Aunt May who’s younger than Peter Parker.

      The Year is 2087. Handy Manny has just been green lit for a live action feature length adaptation

      Bold of you to assume they won’t just remake a remake. An animated adaptation of a live action movie that was itself an adaptation of an animated movie.

      I feel like the original films would start to flatten out a bit, while the remakes are trending more frequent. 2055-ish makes more sense to me, if not sooner. That is unless Disney tries to adjust this trend directly.

      TBH, the rise in remakes looks more exponential than linear. It looks like the intersection will be around 2035.

      You can always do a remake again. Disney did it before with the Jungle Book in 1994 and 2016.

      Once the red line crosses the blue they’ll be doing remakes of original movies that don’t even exist yet

      I still wonder whether Mufasa is considered a remake or an original film. Would lean towards the latter

    22. suicidemachine on

      They will just start making off-spin version of the old movies. There will be a King Lion movie about some hyena trying to break up from his friends etc. Just like they did with the Rocky series – every character is going to have his own movie.

      Great chart and content. You misspelled “does”. Subtitle 2nd sentence.

    24. TheTresStateArea on

      The rate of remakes isn’t linear growth. The original to remake ratio is getting smaller and smaller every year.

    25. WanderingStw on

      It will also be interesting if we say the number of years between “original” and “remake” – I am guessing that that number is also decreasing over time.

      *does not dose

      *based not bassed

      *meant not ment

      *such not sutch

      I’m all for graphs, but good god some basic proofreading would be nice. It’s literally three sentences. I have trouble trusting the quality of the projections when you don’t seem to check your work in the slightest.

    28. Martnz on

      To be fair neither plot seems linear. the remakes seems exponential, so I would say the crossing would be earlier as 2088.
