Why Do Studios Copy B Movies?

If you've ever watched two movies with the same premise, you're probably familiar with the copycat B movie phenomenon. These movies often appear on the same streaming services, often with the same actors and many times with the same director. It's an interesting phenomenon that has been explored by many film enthusiasts. But why do studios copy B movies, and why do they keep doing it?

The answer is simple: money. B movies are often low-budget productions that don't require a huge amount of money to create. This makes them attractive to studios, since they can make a quick buck without investing too much. Additionally, B movies often have a cult following, meaning that fans of the genre are likely to watch the movie regardless of quality or budget. This makes them an attractive prospect for studios looking to make a quick buck.

Interestingly, B movies are often more than just remakes. Many times, the films are actually sequels or prequels to existing movies. This allows the studios to continue telling the same story in different ways, often with different actors or different settings. This way, they can keep the franchise alive without having to spend too much money on production.

The copycat B movie phenomenon is an interesting one. It shows how studios will use existing formulas to make a quick buck, often with little to no artistic value. While this can lead to some interesting mashups and sequels, it can also lead to some dull remakes. Whatever the case, it's clear that the copycat B movie phenomenon is here to stay.

Studios are just making money off of the copycat B movie phenomenon. There's no originality or creativity in these movies.
