I blame the audience more than Hollywood. Rob Zombie's Halloween should have bombed but it made a fortune because the masses went to see it, the sequel tanked however. But my point is, if the masses quit shelling out money to see the reboots the studios would be like, "ok, we need to do something different now". But well, if they make a Firestarter re-boot, I have a hunch if they get the right cast, it'll actually do better than the original but time will tell.
