Hollywood is a land of trends. The following trends that will shape the future of the industry are: «The Devil Wears Prada 2» и «Scary Movie» .
«The Devil Wears Prada 2 and Scary Movie 6 are sequels to franchises that began in the 2000s. The Devil Wears Prada 2 and Scary Movie 1 were released in 2006 and 2000, respectively. Despite being two decades old, The Devil Wears Prada 2 and the new Scary Movie prove that audiences want reboots, revivals, and sequels of films from the 2000s.
Rebooting 2000s movies is the future of Hollywood.
Directed by David Frankel and written by Aline Brosh McKenna, The Devil Wears Prada 2 brings back four beloved characters from the original: Meryl Streep as Miranda Priestly, Anne Hathaway as Andy Sachs, Emily Blunt as Emily Charlton, and Stanley Tucci as Nigel Kipling.
To call The Devil Wears Prada 2 a success would be an understatement. Made on a budget of $100 million, the film grossed $643 million worldwide, nearly doubling the original's box office. Critical and audience reviews were also positive, earning a "Certified Fresh" rating on Rotten Tomatoes.
While Scary Movie 6 won't reach the heights of The Devil Wears Prada 2, it should be a success for Paramount. Much of the original cast returns, including Marlon Wayans, Shawn Wayans, Anna Faris, and Regina Hall.
The sixth film in the franchise is projected to gross around $40 million in its opening weekend, but with positive reviews, it has the potential to reach $50 million. With an estimated budget of $30 million, Scary Movie is well on its way to profitability, despite negative reviews and a low Rotten Tomatoes score.
The success of The Devil Wears Prada 2 and Scary Movie will kick off a trend of rebooting 2000s films. Later this year, in November, The Fokker Family, the fourth film in the Meet the Parents series, will be released.
Reboots of 2000s films are now outgrossing films based on 1980s franchises. Masters of the Universe, based on the 1980s He-Man, is likely to flop at the box office. The Running Man, a reboot of the 1987 film directed by Glen Powell, also failed both critically and financially.
Hollywood loves hits. The industry will continue to invest in successful strategies. Expect more reboots and sequels of 2000s films in the future.
