I get it why would someone take a book and make a movie out of it, but not the other way around. What do they try to achieve?

They made a novelization of the Princess of Mars movie despite the movie already being an adaption of a book. Very strange.
>>24714660You get to see more of the character's inner monologues and thoughts
it's basically a form of merch for fans to spend money on. it made sense back when all the normies still read for fun + home media either didn't exist or you had to wait a long time for it to be released.
>>24714660Here is why OP:The year is 1979. You are going on vacation with your parents. The plane ride is 8 hrs long. Your favorite movie is Star Wars and you'd like to watch it on the plane but you can't bc iphones and ipads haven't been invented yet. What do?
It can tell you more details about the world they couldn't fit in the series/movie/show/gameBooks let you basically turn to the camera and monologue as the author. Pic Related is from the official pokemon novelization explaining how the world works, for example. They never had time to explicitly explain all this in the movies.
When I was a kid I saw this at a used bookstore and asked my mom to get it because it looked fucking awesome, for obvious reasons. I reread it compulsively, fascinated by every single thing about it. It was not until nearly two decades later that I learned it was the novelization of a movie. So to answer your question OP, maybe they're hoping that happens.
An iconic /tv/ meme would not exist without the novelization of The Dark Knight Rises.
>>24714660So little kids who liked the movie can read the book at school and feel like they're watching the movie instead of learning.
The Star Wars Episode 3 novelization is held in pretty high regard by fans of the movie because it spends a lot more time explaining character's backgrounds and motivations. General Grievous, for example, just kind of shows up and dies 10 minutes later in the movie whereas in the book he's much more fleshed out.
>>24715123>Based on the motion picture written by Dan GordonSo, you reread it compulsively and were fascinated by every single thing and detail but never looked at the cover? Is this mental retardation or just plain lying? If so, why lying about this? I am bamboozled.
>>24715853An American child could very easily have read the words "motion picture" and just not associated it with a "movie" it also says "written by" so maybe that led him to believe a motion picture was like a comic book or something, still plausible.

This is my Dao, thought Bane as he channeled his chi into a perfect strike against the CIA chud’s throat.That strike, I’ve seen it once before, 20 years ago, thought the dying Wilson. It was 20 years ago to the day. I was a fresh faced recruit and I had just witnessed my sensei use his special water dao against a bound Al Qaeda prisoner…
>>24714660>books are more enjoyable to read than a movie>in many ways a nice comfy book is better than sitting in a filthy movie theater with screaming babies for three hours (let's face it, gonna be three hours with the tickets and travel and all the ads).>expanded plotlines>can spoil your friends with plot twistsI blame poor writing on why they don't do novelizations on big movies anymore. The first Iron Man from 2008 got one but I get dry heaves thinking of someone like Chuck Wendig writing in all the quips from the movie plus some in the backdrop of some consumer icon.
