Yes. Absolutely no reshoots took place - even the usual pickups that happen after every movie didn't take place because the actors didn't have any availability.

Fox wanted to overhaul New Mutants...

Talent and ability can be so much more important than looks. I wonder if a Latino actress had been cast rather than someone who was Native American if that would have been enough, but it seems like...

Double post

I agree, but I like the idea of the X-Men being forced into being superheroes rather than this being only a choice of say "with great power comes great responsibility" type of thing. They are forced...

The problem is that mutants powers aren't necessarily harmless.

Someone who has an unfair advantage in sports is something currently the world is struggling with with transgender athletes...

The line from New Mutants which was used in every single tv spot was "mutants are dangerous". I don't think this was random. There's a certain level of basic information the audience needs to...

Disney/Fox moved up Empty Man (based on Cullen Bunn's comic series) to the end of October. That's about it for movies coming out in October from major studios.

Disney isn't releasing box office...

Disney pushed back more of their schedule to 2021 with Eternals now delayed all the way to November 2021. Film production is being more severely impacted than tv production, so that gives Feige more...

Tenet has done far better outside of the US & Canada - with over $132M as of last weekend. It's difficult to say how it would have done with far more competition in a regular summer release slot.
...

And as expected, WW84 was just moved to later in the year date TBD.

Some box office analysts are saying the actual domestic Tenet box office was about 10 Million, so only 3 million above New...

Pretty much, but there wasn't that assumption when the date was set or even a few weeks ago. There was considerable hope for Tenet opening in the 40 million range for the 3 day and a 50 million 4...

WB is refusing to release any specific domestic numbers for Tenet - only the $20.2M figure for 11 days of release. The fairly decent overseas numbers are being released daily.

Expect WB to move...

Deadline had this to say about Tenet's less than stellar reviews (https://deadline.com/2020/09/tenet-opening-weekend-box-office-1234571662/):



So... Deadline's Anthony D'Alessandro believes NY...

WB announced Tenet made $20.2 domestically (US and Canada). That's a little deceptive since the number includes $2.6 million last week in Canada and multiple days of previews. WB hasn't announced...

It's not set to even open in some markets where it wouldn't have done well though - like Malaysia. The lack of a release in some areas are due to the fact a teen romance between two lesbian character...

New Mutants hasn't opened as widely overseas, nor was it ever going to do as well. The planned reshoots were to address the issues of how to sell the movie internationally since PG-13 horror movies...

The challenge with making a movie aimed at teens like that was adding romance elements. If the focus is on Dani, then who's her love interest? Sam?

Josh Boone pitched New Mutants in 2014 right...

It's difficult to compare numbers right now since screens at drive-ins are so much different than indoor theaters. WB isn't releasing Tenet numbers until Sunday, but what I've seen from pre-sales...

Illyana/Roberto is definitely set-up as one of the couples and probably the main couple in the next movies with Rahne & Dani moving to the background. Zaga was likely cast since he's a generic...

No matter who else was there, Illyana would have been an b***h to them, manipulated them for her entertainment and said mean things until they left her alone and feared her. She's the cliche bullying...

One of the main areas where the movie does fall apart is the horror aspect, which I was disappointed wasn't better done. And what actually makes it worse is having the Buffy episode Hush playing in...

Did Sam and Illyana even have a scene together other than the main fight scene and group scenes? I'm not sure if I recall any. She's antagonized Rahne and calling her a dog and you could take what...

Those are all cultural references Native Americans and rude responses. They are ignorant, obnoxious and hurtful, but the same type of statements could also be made about Scots to bully Rahne or jokes...

Illyana is angry at everyone. It's not just due to Dani being a Native American. If Dani was replaced with Doug, would Illyana have treated him differently because he's white? No. She would have...

What Illyana does is bullying and intended to be hurtful. But calling it racist is a stretch.

Illyana says:


Asks Dani what type of Indian she is and then when Dani starts to tell her about...
