will test in December with “The Matrix: Resurrections,” the fourth entry in the sci-fi series that hasn’t had a new chapter in theaters since 2003. Even before COVID-19 upended the moviegoing landscape, Hollywood had been finding out the hard way that familiar properties don’t necessarily translate into box office glory. Retreads from other studios, like Paramount’s “Terminator: Dark Fate” and Universal’s “The Mummy” with Tom Cruise, were other high-profile attempts that fell flat in theaters. But 2019’s “Charlie’s Angels” ($73 million worldwide) and “Men in Black: International” ($253 million worldwide) failed to recapture the magic of the originals and flopped at the box office. The 2017 “Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle” ($962 million globally) and its sequel, 2019’s “The Next Level” ($800 million globally), as well as its 2020 threequel “Bad Boys for Life” ($426 million globally) were commercial triumphs, thanks to the unmatched chemistry between Dwayne Johnson and Kevin Hart in the former and Will Smith and Martin Lawrence in the latter. Sony has found success through Spider-Man characters, which it licenses from Marvel Studios, but outside of Venom and everyone’s favorite web-slinger, the studio has revisited some of its biggest properties to mixed results. That has made traditional studios ever more reliant on popular franchises, the kind that can spawn sequels, reboots and offshoots. Pandemic or not, audiences have been gravitating to action-packed tentpoles and shying away from mid-budget comedies and dramas.
