Likely the problem with these movies is that their budgets are too high. And they're high because large amounts of credit are available for investment, which means given competition studios have to make very expensive movies. In order to earn from them, they have to spend large amounts on marketing, spend heavily on special effects and/or A-list actors, and come up with stories that will appeal across many cultures while hitting the PG sweet spot. That's why many of these movies (not all) look alike, and why studios have to resort to remakes, reboots, prequels and sequels, etc.
