Clearly, they want the movie rights to Paste Pot Pete.

The only reason to keep these franchises ticking over is because big businesses have the mentality of small children. If they let copyright just...sit for x amount of time, it goes up for grabs again. This was a measure to stop the companies who were buying out copyright for things and just sitting on it. They had no interest in using the rights they had acquired, they just wanted to stop anyone else from using it. Now these things HAVE to be used, and there is only a several year window before the copyright is snatched from your grubby fingers and given to someone else. Something I'm guessing people like Fox and Sony don't dare do these days with the Marvel Movieverse behemoth cleaning house.

Oh yeah that too, that is why they're making ASM into a franchise with a continuity spanning across several films, and why a Fantastic Four movie is being smashed together out of paper and tape.

While critically, the Fantastic Four movies haven't been very popular, they have been commercial successes, which is what matters the most to film studios.

Yeah which sucks, the only way to stop this is Disney just buys out Fox and Sony but I don't think they have the money to do that.
