I just finished watching the movies and think they’re great fun, straight forward action flicks. The first 3 movies seem quite commercially successful. Even LW4 which had like 5x the budget of LW3 still managed to make some money.

Why didn’t they go back to the smaller $30 million budgets and continue making bank? They put the movie series to sleep for a whopping 25 years! Why drop a film franchise which saw so much success?
