Certainly something is devalued if more copies are made, isn't that basic supply and demand economics?

I don't get the marriage analogy to remakes. I can see how it applies to someone else wanting to make another film, but a remake? That's more like the other couple wants to have a marriage just like yours, in the same or similar house, having the same jobs, speaking the same endearments, same attitudes towards children etc. - and that's downright creepy. Sure get married, make a film - but if you want to marry my wife, then we have a problem.

Honestly, I wish Hollywood would try to remake some bad films, there are plenty that had a lot of potential if only...

But no, the remake often is made based on the success of it's predecessor.
