Universal being the big success story, look at their big five releases.
1. Jurassic World - 4th entry in established franchise
2. Furious 7 - 7th entry in established franchise
3. Minions - Spin off / 3rd entry in established franchise
4. Pitch Perfect 2 - 2nd entry
5. Fifty Shade of Grey - Original film, but based off hugely popular book
Now, I give them credit that JW and F7 finished well above even high expectations, but really nothing here screams "risk" in terms of a new idea with a big budget.
