Not if they want more money in the long-run. If they want longstanding fan support and financial increases through the years, they need to step up their story game and stop focusing on non-canonical wastes like the 2017 film. That's not what nostalgic fans want and it's not going to be useful for kids who are just now getting familiar with the Smurfs franchise. Kids aren't stupid; they'll like what they see now, but grow up and realize the story behind the Smurfs goes deeper than 2017, 2013, or 2011. They'll have access to more of Peyo's comics thanks to Papercutz Inc. and the cartoons are available all over the internet (either for free on sites like The Daily Motion, KissCartoon, Youtube, and more, or by streaming on Netflix and Hulu OR by purchasing the physical DVD sets off of Amazon, eBay, maybe Barnes & Noble, etc.).

Kids today will have everything they want about their favorite little blue creatures and more, so when they get those materials, it will ultimately lead to the same fate of the current nostaglic fans: disappointment stemmed from confusion from a lack of proper continuity sequences by the big companies -- and they'll know for a fact by then that they were cheated and lied to because companies like Sony Studios contributed to the fact that they only cared about making money and not making good enough stories worth investing into.
