"Originality Sells, So How Do We Copy That?"

That is probably the big question in Hollywood after the two-week box office for Barbenheimer.

But don't worry: MI-14 and F&F-23 will be made. Because even though there may be a market for original stories, sequels still sell (up until when they don't). Bet your ass that the studio execs are trying to figure out which kiddie toy they can make a movie of, or which atomic bomb scientist's life they can barf into a shooting script.
