I don't really think people hated the originals because of Alice (overexposed as she was) I think it was more of the fact that the movies more and more moved further and further from the source material (almost similar to the complains the games have been getting since 4) while making the few mainstays that were included satellite characters.

Secondly if the reboots do worse that'll likely be because of saturation. Not ever film series can be the Fast and Furious franchise.

Not even the fact that no movie is guaranteed success even if said movie has good actors and a good script?

To say nothing of the fact that the pandemic has had an adverse effect on movie profits (though how much is open to debate).

For me, Milla Jovovich was the reason to watch the films.

Without her, the remake had better bring something more to the table. Being faithful to the original material is all well and good, but the movie still has to be good. The danger is a lack luster or generic adaptation.
