The people most likely to be already familiar with it are the MOST likely to be aggravated in your attempts to make it appeal to a larger demographic.
It just confuses me.

They're mostly going for brand recognition, since if they can get the brand familiar enough to the masses, then they're banking on them getting more bang for their buck on the already existing franchise.
Then again, yes they do need to go for more original name productions. I mean, look at Pacific Rim.
