There are many movie franchises that viewers feel are long overdue to end. Take Indiana Jones, for example. The fifth part with 80-year-old Harrison Ford looks ridiculous, to say the least. Which, in fact, is hinted at by the very poor start at the US box office. In general, there are many such franchises that have become cash cows. Many include the new Star Wars trilogy, the fourth Matrix, the latest Terminators, and so on. You know who doesn’t give a damn? Horror movies!
