Big whoop, the Hollywood writers' strike. Hollywood could do movies about tons of cool stuff, like something about the last few barbarian nomads who showed up claiming to be the son of God before Jesus wandered in from the desert, or some 1812 naval battle. A live action film based on the Gundam anime series. There are literally a million things they could do aside from Paul Blart III, but they don't. Why? Because Hollywood is a good-old-boy system and doesn't reward innovation.
