Are movie novelizations still a thing? (alien.top)

I remember reading them back in the early 90s (Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves, Far and Away, Back to the Future). They don't seem to be a thing anymore (or am I just not noticing them).

As an aside I remember liking them but I was a preteen at the time so maybe they were terrible and I just liked the movies.

I work in a library. I definitely see junior novelizations being ordered. Not for everything but big movies for sure (the new Little Mermaid movie is one of the more recent book I’ve seen come through).

Very, very occasionally do I see adult novelizations. Primarily I just see the movie/tv cover for the book.
