You're forgetting one thing, Hollywood isn't in the business to make movies, they're in the business to make money and movies just happens to be the way they make their money. The reason why we don't see more original ideas in films is because it is risky and they'd rather go with something that has a higher likelihood of making them a profit, especially after they've spent hundreds of millions making and advertising their movie(s). If you want to watch something that's not a reboot, sequel, or a prequel then you're just going to have get into indie films because that's where the originality is, not in the big Hollywood studios who only want to make big blockbusters that will make tons of money. Besides, this is hardly a new phenomena, Hollywood has been doing this for decades, just think of how many Buck Rogers, Lone Ranger, Charlie Chaplin, Three Stooges, etc. film have been made in the past. Remakes are hardly a new thing either, Hollywood's been doing that for decades too, we just tend to forget that some movies are really remakes because often times the remake is so much better than the original(s) that people forget about the original(s).
