Because no producer in Hollywood wants to take that risk. You forget, Hollywood is still making original ideas it is just that producers are not
accepting original ideas. Original scripts for movies come out every day and are being written by writers every day.
The trouble is that people don't want to invest their money into a project unless it is a guaranteed hit. That is why they remake movies, buy TV shows and turn them into movies, because it makes it easier for people to associate with those shows and films because they already know them.
Thus, producers don't have to worry about people feeling iffy about going to movies they are not familiar with. Face it, originality isn't dead it's just that business is alive and kicking a lot harder. Making movies means making money and sadly people don't want to invest 100 million dollars into something unless they are sure it's a smash hit.
It's a sad truth but it's the real truth.
