Nostalgia is a key characteristic of fascism, but I still think you are right that this wave is especially nostalgic and particularly unoriginal. They don't even bother to create new slogans, they just translate them from other cultures or dig them up from decades ago.
"Avatar, the first entry in the series, is the only movie since 2000 to top the box office and not be a sequel or come from pre-existing intellectual property"
I think your point still stands, but this should be "since 2003" not 2000: Finding Nemo is an original story/idea and it was #1 at the box office in 2003.
