>name a big movie franchise
>that started recently
>that isn't an adaptation from another medium
Avatar, The Matrix, and Fast/Furious are the only ones I can think of.
>>64545441
>Matrix
>recent
Anon, I have bad news.
>>64545441
i don't think 15+ years is that recent
Legally Blonde
Pitch Perfect
>>64545441
>>64545466
Fast and Furious isn't recent at all either.
>>64545441
A Talking Cat/Pony!?!
>>64545441
The Matrix and Fast & Furious are like 20 years old.
Also the Avatar sequel is going to bomb and all but the most delusional of Cameron fanboys can see it coming.
Expendables 1, 2, 3
>>64545441
Paranormal Activity
I'm not happy about it, but there you go.
>>64545534
Based on a fairy tale. There even was another movie based on that same fairy tale one year before.
>>64545553
Why are horror films generally a safer bet to go with when launching a new original IP?
Cheaper and easier to market perhaps?
>>64545441
Cars
>>64545586
>Cheaper and easier to market perhaps?
Pretty much. Just look at the piss poor budget of stuff like Paranormal activity or Blair Witch Project, and then look how much they made at the box office.
People don't really care about production values or quality when they see a horror movie, they usually want cheap and easy thrills.
>>64545466
>>64545467
>>64545501
In a geological sense late 90s-early 2000s is recent.
>>64545664
In a geological sense your mother is recent.
>>64545630
But even horror franchises got resurrected. Or rather standalone horror films got ressurected into franchises
>>64545441
Pacific rim

Despicable Me /Minions
Inside Out
Pitch Perfect
Lucy
>>64545747
LmaO jesus christ
>>64545495
Pitch Perfect was a book first.
>>64545754
Based on the Disney ride.
Pirates of the Caribbean, unless you count the ride.
(More recent than The Matrix, anyway)
>>64545805
>le reaction image
>>64545815
PP was a book. Lucy is based on a short story. Lucy isn't a franchise anyway.
>>64545754
based on disney ride and the monkey island games
>>64545664
Sure thing, grampa
>>64545884
>theme park ride
>medium
Next youre going to argue the writers brain is a medium
>>64545903
The ride counts. It was really popular for a long time and had many tie-ins (records, books, etc.) before the movies.
>>64545851
>Pitch Perfect was a book first.
hmm, did not know that. interesting.
also alien, aliens, prometheus
>>64545927
>that last point
Fairly many creatures live longer than humans, unless medical science invents biological immortality
>>64545441
>>64545441
Spy kids
>>64545928
but it was also taken from the monkey island games
>>64545931
>The ride counts.
Yeah, fair call. What about...
>Despicable Me/2/Minions
>Finding Nemo/Dory
>Cars/Cars2/Planes/PlanesF&R
>Shrek/2/3/4
>Ice Age/2/3/4
Once I thought of animated films the floodgates opened.

If you had a certain pass about 10-15 years ago you could go up to walt's offices above New Orleans Square and look at the original storyboards and the concept art. It was very early based upon the ride.
Interestingly enough, Capt Sparrow appears to be a creation of someone aside from the original storyboarders.
>>64545971
Shrek is based on a book though.
>>64546008
Fuck, really? I actually didn't know that. Are the others okay?
>>64545971
It's weird that kids movies are more creative than mainstream Hollywood.
I mean, they're cookie-cutter plots and all, but at least they're not officially based on something else.
>>64545995
Ofc it was based on the ride, but a ride is quite a lot different from the movies.
Only jack sparrow exists in the ride and 80% the other shit in the ride isnt in the first movie
>>64545931
>it had tie ins before the movies
Source? As far as i know it only got really popular with extended material after potc got big
>>64546008
Didn't know that. 1990's book? It looks pretty good. The drawings are kinda cool, in a minimalist, almost child-like, way.
>>64545969
Monkey island was inspired by the ride as well. They fed off each other.
Borrowing ideas isnt an adaptation niggers, there are no truly original ideas. What we are looking at is SOURCE MATERIAL
>>64546027
>Finding Nemo shares many plot elements with Pierrot the Clownfish, a children's book published in 2002, but conceived in 1995. The author, Franck Le Calvez, sued Disney for infringement of his intellectual rights. The judge ruled against him, citing the color differences between Pierrot and Nemo.[13]
Let's cross out Nemo, I didn't know it either, maybe it's a coincidence but who knows.
Despicable Me, Cars and Ice Age seem alright, I can't find another origin despite a quick look on wikipedia.
>>64546058
I have the 70s record of the ride (got it from my granfather).
Not my vid, but it's the same record.

There was a book with it, but it got lost a few years ago when we moved. I also have a comic book (80s).

John Wick
>>64546206
Not a franchise.
>>64545927
i was born in '91 and disney channel was as much staple as nickelodeon for me
>>64546206
>>64546245
I just realized that JW2 is in profuction. It counts. Good catch.
>>64546145
Still has basically jack all to do with potc as movies
Hehe get it JACK all hehe
>>64546058
>Only jack sparrow exists in the ride and 80% the other shit in the ride isnt in the first movie
After POTC2 they redid the ride to
1) include jack
2) include geoffrey rush
3) finally get rid of the wench auction and the wench chasing due to the implied rape
4) When they are dunking the latino man to get info from him his wife no longer says, "Carlos dont be Chiiiicken" she says, "Carlos, be brave!"
>>64546287
It's still "based" on it. They share the title.
Just like John Carpenter's Vampires is "based on" John Steakley's Vampire$, even though the only thing they have in common is the name of 2 of the characters and nothing else.
>>64546313
[triggered]
i specifically remember the wench auction as something that stuck out to me as a history nerd of a kid. thought it was a really cool detail they put in.
Madagascar flicks, horrible bosses, you can find plenty if you think a bit before making a thread
>>64545441
Magic Mike
>>64546042
Makes sense really. Children want to see something cool and new. Adults want to see something that reminds them of when they were kids.
>>64546329
Its not an adaptation though
>>64546603
It is. Officially, it is called that.
