We already know the some of the messy details ,The director want to make a horror movie,Fox want to make Young adult movie, The director agreed to make more of a young adult movie. The film got finished and screened it was mostly trash fire but key notes was the horror elements was good. So they pulled film to reshoot it with more of a horror feel like the director intended. In waiting for the reshoots the Marvel deal started to happen and seem like executives don't have clue what to do or put couldn't put it into action because Disney would be in charge by then. The plan looks changed over and over. Reshoots ,Maybe releasing as is,To releasing it on Hulu, Disney plus etc. The basic understanding if they are going to put on Hulu or Disney aren't going to waste money reshooting it. So it is just a mess of dump more money in to fix it, Just release it take what you get from it or bury it in a hole.
My opinion is that they know they shouldn't release but they already invested money into it,So they are going to trying to get some money made out of it
