#2In addition to CG fatigue I think users are having remake fatigue. Audiences don't want to see a Moana remake, another Marvel movie or another Superman spin-off. Star Wars and Marvel are getting so overexposed people aren't bothering to show up for them to theaters.

It’s an adaptation.

#5No, everyone just watches Nolan movies because he's seen as a director who can do no wrong. It says nothing about CGI.

Yeah it's just the big budget movie with the non-stop marketing. It's everywhere.

It doesn't hurt that the reviews from both the viewers and the critics are really good.

People pay a premium for hand-made over factory-made.
It’s too early to make a conclusion but its an interesting hypothesis.

#9Is that really the take away?
I think the real take away is that audiences want good movies. The Odyssey is a good movie - it just so happens to be made the hard way.
(Or, in other words, correlation does not imply causation, and that's all this article has.)

#10Just to be clear, the top grossing movie so far this year: Super Mario Galaxy. And #3: Toy Story 5
In 2025 all the top 10 films were either 3D animation or CGI-heavy action, with one exception: F1 used a lot of practical effects.
Maybe the problem with Moana and Mandalorian is that even lazy uninformed movie-goers recognized an empty cash-grab when they saw the trailer.
