It's not as simple as you make it out to be either. Just because remakes and reboots turn a profit doesn't mean the masses are neccessarily eating them up.
You can make the argument that new quality properties are in higher demand. They usually do far better. People want to see new things. People complain about remakes all the time.
Just because a lot of people still go to see movies that don't deliver this to them doesn't mean it's what they'd prefer.
