like A.I. Artificial Intelligence and Minority Report with the former questioning the increasing materialism of today's world and the latter questioning the political situations surrounding the world post 9/11. Unique entries into the genre were also released around this time with the first science fiction romance Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. By the middle of the decade, the theater audience had begun to decline and this was reflected in the numbers attending the science fiction movie releases of this period. Sophisticated home theater systems came close to matching the cinema experience, and avoided the expense and inconvenience. Film studios had begun placing product advertisements prior to the start of films in theatres, seeking another means to enhance their bottom line, and alienating a segment of the theater-going audience. Making up for the losses in cinema revenue were sales and rentals of the high-quality DVD releases, many of which included previously cut scenes and extra material. 2010s Using bookable actors, science fiction films increasingly entered mainstream cinema with films like Gravity (2013) and Inception (2010) . Science fiction comedies saw moderate success, such as Men in Black 3 (2012), Hot Tub Time Machine (2010) and the sequel Hot Tub Time Machine 2 (2015), including family oriented films such as Megamind (2012) and the four films of the Despicable Me franchise. Decades-old franchises faced difficulties as original actors aged. Technological solutions like virtual actors and unreleased footage allowed familiar characters to appear in new films. Retooling of the fictional universes also allowed for new films, including Rogue One: A Star Wars Story (2016) whose "retcon" provides a link to the first film from 1977. Via a reboot, in 2005, new Star Trek films take place in an alternate timeline, advertised as "this is not your father's Star Trek". Original timeline fan were not forgotten with Star Trek: Discovery (2017-) and was accompanied into the new decade by Star Trek: Picard (2020). Revived by the 2012 sale of Lucasfilm to Disney, four of the new Star Wars films became among the 20 highest grossing films of all time: Star Wars: The Force Awakens (2015), Rogue One: A Star Wars Story (2016), Star Wars: The Last Jedi (2017), and Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker (2019).
