I really really don't think market forces have any role in what they make. There is no competition for the studios so why would they be affected by markets? Even when a movie bombs in the US they claim they made all their money in Asia.
They use superheroes because they are among their company assets and the comic book genre was created by tribal associates of the studio owners so they feel it is their culture.
They lack imagination so remaking Spider-man or Batman a 100 times is a no brainer (literally).
Where they may go from here is mash ups--Planet of the Apes vs the Avengers.
Or, they remake Texas Chainsaw Massacre with a black or asian heroine.
In fact, I bet if Disney does a remake of ALIEN Ripley will be a shade darker.
I should take bets. I know I will be proven right.
