hollywood's been out of original ideas for decades now.
example.. there was just a friday the 13th remake, that was released under a different name if im correct.
i heard they are working on a nightmare on elm street remake, and i know they are working on a karate kid remake.
more reasons that i hope hollywood fails.

LOL, there have been 11 previous Friday the 13th's, 3 Never ending stories, 9 Halloweens, and 8 Elm street remakes. But now the 12th, 4th, 10th, and 9th movies, are too much?

Since you asked, here is my opinion as to WHY.
1. It cost a small fortune to make a movie. So the powers that be find out what people are watching and they, as good business men do... Give us what we want. This is why we must endure so many Friday the 13ths. You made it a box office hit..They keep making more.
2. New technology, allows for a better movie. That is why for example, journey to the center of the earth was remade.
I don't think they are out of original ideas. I think they are afraid to go out on a limb to make such an expensive movie and not have it become a big box office hit.
Everything goes to DVD so fast now they are losing a bundle. Movies are in competition with satellite, DVD, and cable companies. Recession has hit everyone.

Movie revenues being down have very little to do with the economy. They've been trending downward for years while trying to adjust their business model to account for a ever changing means of media distribution.

I agree, they used to be the ONLY thing, now there is all kinds of competition.
They want a sure thing. They don't want to take chances.
Again I say they are not out of ideas, they just want the most money they can get out of it. Who can blame them, we all want to make big money at whatever we do. It is America after all.
To me, wanting money, money, money is what caused the recession. Everything costs so much. The big businesses moved to where they can pay their employees the least. The inevitable layoffs are the result of businesses wanting the same or more profit as the year before.
Greed is the reason things are so bad now. Items are made the cheapest they can make it and charge the biggest buck. People can't afford it, they can't keep their jobs. Folks are losing their houses, can't afford to buy things that are not necessary. Everything is going to pot because of greed.
Now there is nothing worth watching at the movies because of greed. They don't want to make anything new.
We can't afford the movies, so we wait for the DVD to come out. Recession has hit everywhere. Yes, even Hollywood.
It is still a huge amount money being made, but they want more.
