    The title is quite confusing. It sounds like the last time all top 10 spots were occupied by sequels was 50 years ago. What they actually meant is that over the last 50 years numbers of sequels in top 10 was gradually increasing (starting from 0 in 1973/1974).

    Wizard of Oz prequel Wicked could threaten the ranking, though

    How, though? While technically not the same as a sequel, it’s still expanding on an established property, which seems to be what’s popular. It’s still not something wholly original.

      There are almost no big original movies being made, that goes much further than just sequels. It’s all adaptations of books and plays, reboots, remakes.
