Films are often remade to take advantage of new technologies and increased revenue opportunities from vertical and horizontal integration. Horizontal integration involves collaboration between the original studio and a new one, while vertical integration gives a studio ownership over the entire production process. Remakes also benefit from synergy, as fans of the original may purchase related merchandise.
The 2012 film Dredd was a remake of the 1995 Judge Dredd film. It had a lower budget of $50 million compared to the original's $70 million budget, showing how film costs have decreased with technology. The film Rec was remade in English as Quarantine since the original was popular in America. While they told the same story, Quarantine had a larger $12

This document discusses reasons why films are remade and provides examples of Judge Dredd and REC. It states that films are remade for technological, financial, trends and other reasons. Judge Dredd was remade in 2012 to take advantage of improved technology and effects to better depict the source comics. It was also remade to capitalize on synergies with new comics and home releases. REC was remade as Quarantine in 2008 because its producers were worried Americans wouldn't see the original with subtitles, and to take advantage of financial benefits from vertical integration between the studio and distributor.

3. The 2008 American remake of the 2007 Spanish film [Rec], called Quarantine, was produced by a major studio and appealed to a wider English-speaking audience, though some felt it lacked the raw camerawork of the original.

Production companies are enticed to remake films when new technology allows visuals to be realized that previously weren't possible, or when trends in popular genres present opportunities to profit. For example, Dredd was remade to take advantage of advanced CGI to depict its futuristic setting accurately, and Man of Steel was rushed out after the success of The Avengers and The Dark Knight Rises to capitalize on heightened interest in superhero films. Remakes also aim to profit from synergies with other media like comic books and merchandise.

Remake article
Remakes are common in modern film due to factors like synergy, star power, and technology upgrades. Quarantine was a successful remake of the Spanish film REC, released only a year later to capitalize on REC's popularity while it was still fresh. Similarly, The Karate Kid and War of the Worlds remakes benefited from starring big names like Jackie Chan and Tom Cruise, and from employing special effects not possible in the originals to appeal to modern audiences. These remakes were more financially successful than the original films due to leveraging existing recognition of the stories and intentionally timing releases when related films were popular.

Films are often remade for various reasons such as appealing to new generations, expressing new creative visions, or profiting from the original's popularity. The found footage horror film REC (2007) was remade as Quarantine (2008) after its studio was acquired by a larger company seeking to capitalize on the original's success in both the US market and related merchandising. Similarly, the classic 1984 film The Karate Kid was remade in 2010 with a new setting and actors like Jackie Chan to appeal to a broader international audience and enable extensive synergistic opportunities through the studio's corporate ownership.

It was produced so quickly to capitalize on the original film's success and to appeal to a wider English-speaking audience.
