When a movie makes a whole lot of money, the studio behind said movie (as well as other rival studios) tend to want to replicate that box office success. Normally this is done through sequels, spin-off's, cinematic universes, all that jazz, but back in the day it was a lot more common for studios to just make new movies that were clearly executed in the mold of prior box office successes. For example, two of the biggest movies of the 1990s for Paramount Pictures were its pair of Best Picture winners
Forrest Gump and
Titanic. Making sequels to such lucrative movies is a problematic idea because, for
Forrest Gump, the key creative people behind that movie are just so busy while for the problems with making
2 Tit 2 Anic should be self-evident.
