Over 530 sequels released since 2000 have brought in $74.3 billion at the domestic box office, but it doesn't mean Hollywood should depend on them.

    Indiewire is trying really hard to make the answer no, but has limited success imo

    But consider that of the roughly 18,450 movies that have been released in that 25-year span, 530 films is not quite 3 percent of all theatrical films, yet in that span the domestic box office has brought in roughly $245.2 billion, and those sequels have accounted for 30 percent of the overall gross. Granted, nearly all of those sequels hail from major studios, and if we only looked at studio output in that span, with no indies that drive a good chunk of the box office, the overall percentage of sequels to studio titles would likely be far greater.
