Every box office Top 10 for 2024 was a sequel or prequel

Wow. Now my question is: is that reflective of the audience, or Hollywood's unwillingness to take risk, or how much of both?

Here's the list:
10. Beetlejuice Beetlejuice
9. Venom: The Last Dance
8. Kung Fu Panda 4
7. Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire
6. Wicked
5. Dune: Part Two
4. Moana 2
3. Despicable Me 4
2. Deadpool & Wolverine
1. Inside Out 2

Interestingly, I've only seen four of these: Dune, Despicable Me, Deadpool/Wolvie, and Inside Out. I plan on seeing KFP4 and I expect we'll see Moana while it's in the theaters. My interest in owning any of these is very, very low. What I want is the B&W version of Godzilla Zero! Now that film I really enjoyed!
