Do you even know the purpose of a test screen. It is to test to see what works and what can be improved. The studio want it scarier and add more characters that are essential to the plot. That has nothing stating signs of a disaster except you wanting it to be. If this been a LAST MINUTE thing like Justice League, then it be levels of concern and a doomed situation. But trying to add onto things to make the film better in ADEQUATE time is not a disaster.

And you comparison is weak as hell. A test screening is not like a done dinner. It is more like a sampler to do see what is needed to make the meal better. Having not enough meat and potatoes doesn't mean the dinner is ruined. It means to add more meat and potatoes.

Outside of Deadpool...the X-Men series at Fox is a wrap nikka. They are already putting that in motion behind the scenes with these delays. They have the occasional Logan, Deadpool or DOFP but this shyt is incoherent, mishandled and a mess. And that's not even touching FF.

Unlike Guardians of The Galaxy....New Mutants has no built in series to make this the "D-list" hit that series is. The name and tone of Disney made that shyt $800 milly. New Mutants would be lucky to crack 90

Dark Phoenix has the stench of Apocalypse all over it. That shyt is limping along.

There is literally zero interest in these 2 movies. And now with the Disney takeover looming these movies are worthless. Not a single Marvel fan gives a damn about this flicks now.

Outside of the forever in development Gambit flick they had no slate for 2019 for a reason.

And good riddance.

This is the slow death.

Rumor: New Mutants Reportedly Delayed Again with Possible Hulu Release
The-New-Mutants-poster.jpg

Merc With A Podcast's Scott Bechtel has taken to Twitter to share "a whisper through the grapevine." According to Bechtel, Fox and Boone are struggling to come to terms on a comprehensible finished product. He believes they're currently planning to push the film back to November, and that Fox is actually considering a Hulu release for what's otherwise viewed as a "dead on arrival film." Sadly, Bechtel's comments seem believable. Although the New Mutants reshoots were originally expected to begin in September 2018, they still haven't kicked off. Addressing this, Bechtel explained that he believes the biggest problem has been getting the cast back together. Anya Taylor-Joy was apparently particularly frustrated at the amount of time she'd have to put into New Mutants again.

It's important to stress that, right now, these just be considered rumors - albeit highly believable ones. In truth, though, the fate of New Mutants could be decided by something very different; the Disney/Fox acquisition. Disney is hoping to purchase the bulk of Fox's film and TV empire, and is only awaiting final sign-off from international regulators. Should everything go as planned, the X-Men and the Fantastic Four film rights will be handed back to Marvel Studios. Disney has pledged that all completed Fox movies will still be released, but would New Mutants count under that promise? Although principal photography is long since wrapped up, these reshoots do seem likely to be pretty extensive. It's sadly possible that Disney will consider Dark Phoenix to be the end of the Fox-era X-Men, and pull the plug on Josh Boone's production.
