Kirsty Blake Knox: I had 'sequel fatigue' - until I heard about Macaulay Culkin's idea for a 'Home Alone' reboot
"The actor has said he 'wouldn't be completely allergic' to revisiting his most iconic role - that of Kevin McCallister"
"In the movie world, barely a week goes by where we do not hear about a prequel, sequel, remake, origin story or secondary character branching out and becoming the main event."
"Nostalgia clearly sells, and these films tend to be winners at the box office, but as a moviegoer, it can be easy to suffer from 'franchise fatigue' reading about the release of Toy Story 5, or Rush Hour returning, or another Avengers or superhero spin off."
An actor expressed openness to revisiting his iconic Kevin McCallister role, saying he "wouldn't be completely allergic" to a return. The film industry now frequently produces prequels, sequels, remakes, origin stories, and spin-offs. Nostalgia-driven releases tend to perform well at the box office and remain commercially attractive. Persistent franchise extensions can generate audience fatigue, however. High-profile examples of ongoing franchise activity include Toy Story 5, a Rush Hour return, and additional Avengers or superhero spin-offs. Repetitive franchise output can reduce viewer enthusiasm despite continued financial incentives.
