> I don't think you get "The Green Mile" from something like this.

But maybe you do get Deadpool & Wolverine 3

Guess where the money is?



If it becomes easy to make "Deadpool & Wolverine", it will no longer be where the money is. Everything that becomes a commodity attracts competition and ceases to be special. (You can see some of that in super-hero movies, which have started to be generic and lost some of their audience.)

But, in reality, even making that kind of film is miles away from these examples.

Well, given the studios still hold the copyright, they can severely constrain supply to keep profits up.

My suspicion is that this kind of stuff gradually reduces some of the labor involved in making films and allows studios to continue padding their margins.
