Sure, we had nostalgia work for The Lion King (2019) and Aladdin (2019) for being nostalgic to their original films, but apparently it's not working for Doctor Sleep and Terminator: Dark Fate with their current box office grosses with them being nostalgic to The Shining and Terminator 2.
Will the fading nostalgia impact affect future likely heavy-nostalgic films like Ghostbusters 2020 and the next Jurassic Park film?
Are audiences starting to get tired of movies looking to the past?

Good question. We’ll see how Mulan does-unless that is pushed back as rumored.

Is Nostalgia now just a thing of the past?

They're just bad projects. Doctor Sleep was marketed terribly and let's face it, who needed a sequel to The Shining? Terminator has had how many terrible sequels over the last 20 years? Hopefully the failure of this one will be the final nail in the coffin.

Hell, The Shining 2: Shine Harder would've been better than Doctor Sleep.

Not to mention, what they had done to Dan Torrance in Doctor Sleep and John Connor in Terminator: Dark Fate most likely didn't help matters.

Doctor Sleep is King's novelization sequel to his own book. Kubrick's The Shining wasn't really true to King's vision, evidenced how much King disliked it.
If you like Stephen King's The Shining book, then I suppose Doctor Sleep is the natural sequel to that far more than Kubrick's.
At least the marketing isn't trying to lie too much about that.

The whole third act was added just to tie it into Kubrick's Shining. |

I don't think nostalgia will ever go away.
I hope not.

I don't think nostalgia will ever go away. I hope not. As long as it's presented well. And not in a cheap manner.

Nostalgia shouldn't be used specifically as the focal points to shows and movies, especially if they're not good in quality.

And films like Terminator: Dark Fate and Doctor Sleep are the latest, unfortunate examples. Plus, the Disney Star Wars movies are the biggest offenders of this.

I notice more nostalgia for older movies, re-releasing of obscure movies and cult films (a 4k transfer of Goliath vs the Vampires is pretty niche market).
I think it is because for more serious movie fans, modern stuff is just too "central committee" and they'd rather watch some old movie they never heard of than the 4th remake of a superhero movie in 3 years that is somehow edgy because the director and writer could fit a United colors of Benetton ad.
