You nailed it and the minecraft movie proved them right. I'm predicting now that movies will be engineered to be memeable for TikTok videoing stupid dances in the theaters not to watch the movie you paid for but to make a 6 second video for the feeds.

Bingo.

Ugh, that's exactly what's going to happen, isn't?

Also, I hate how people ponder why stuff like this is happening and miss the elephant in the room. Guess engagement optimization isn't a trending topic...

Minecraft is only technically an original movie. Video game "franchise" popular with kids is usual "formula slop" leveraging past pop culture.
