I've explained this time and time and time again. If you want an original movie, look no further than independent releases and films with less than a $25 million dollar budget.
Blockbuster films, in which studios spend in excess of $100 million dollars (and sometimes, $200 million dollars) need to have a built in audience. People like you say "Hollywood isn't original", yet when a film like
Tomorrow Land is released and IS original, it flops at the box office.
Add to that, Pixar and Disney animated movies are definitely original. I don't even know how you could even argue otherwise.
Frozen, Inside Out, Zootopia, The Last Dinosaur, Finding Nemo, Toy Story, et al, are all "original" films.
If you want "originality", watch
Whiplash or
Birdman or
Sicario or
John Wick or any number of films that are released each and every year.
But don't look for an "original" film if the budget is in excess of $100 million because most likely, you won't find it.
