Ok, remake stuff first, from the Oldboy Remake thread:
"since 1980 there've been around 150 remakes (credit: Box Office Mojo), which seems like a lot, until you consider that there's been over 10,346 movies made since 1980. That means that ~1.5% of the movies since 1980 have been remakes."
Addendum: average of 5 remakes a year. That's not a lot, really.
Zathura was based on a book by the same guy (Chris Van Allsburg) who wrote the book that Jumanji was based on. The blame for that goes to Allsburg.
Like you said; there are good movies out that came from Hollywood. And the bad ones you mentioned are making money. If they didn't make money, there would be no reason to make them.
