‘Back To The Future’ Voted Most Wanted Film Remake, But Many Fans Really Don’t Want It
Earlier this week, The Hollywood Reporter, in partnership with Morning Consult, published the results of a poll asking which popular movie franchises should be remade. The Back to the Future franchise came out on top, with 71 percent of 2,201 surveyed Americans stating they would choose this remake over any other film series, according to the official report.
The Back to the Future series, which featured three parts between 1985 and 1990, topped hit franchises like Pixar’s Toy Story and Universal’s Jurassic Park, which received 69 and 67 percent of votes, respectively.
Back To The Future was also voted as most closely followed by the public. Fifty-four percent of those surveyed said that they watched the entire series, while only 36 percent said they have closely followed the Star Wars series.
“There’s a strong consumer demand for movie reboots and sequels, which spells good news for movie studios looking to capitalize on that nostalgic feeling,” Tyler Sinclair, Morning Consult’s vice president, said about the results.
