Now this looks a lot different from what I expected... |

That's how you kill a franchise! Oh my that looks shit. Won't even crack $80m if it's all in the hospital and staged like a horror film. |

Loved the comic as a kid but the trailer is weak as hell. On the positive side: the storyboards (that leaked or Boone posted, can’t remember) show a girl with a magic sword and a dragon doing a flip over a 20 foot tall demon bear. So there will be some crazy superhero-y stuff in there. It also only wrapped a couple of weeks ago so there’s hope that the trailer folks didn’t have a lot to work with. |

I bet a lot of effects aren't done. If this is low budget like it should be it should be a decent hit. Trailer is whatever though. |

Looks kinda cool, I'm glad they are going full on horror with it and I think audiences will respond positively. Its the perfect date movie! I think the opening will be within $10m of Dark Phoenix. |

Hard to predict this so early, but judging by the first trailer they seem to be going for the horror crowd which is interesting. I can see it being a really popular choice for younger audiences with the horror/X-Men influence and the Friday The 13th opening, but it might be hard for it to truly breakout if the casual/older superhero movie audience isn't interested. |

I think it should crack 100 Million. I wouldn't normally be all that interested but I didn't expect a horror movie. Looks really cool. Definitely interested. |

X-Men fans? There aren't any. There are only Wolverine fans and Deadpool fans, and since none of those are in it, and this looks like a horror film, it will struggle to make $80m. |

Looks cheap as hell. They better put out another trailer soon that actually looks like an X-Men movie or this is going to struggle to outgross Alien: Covenant. |

That looks nothing like X:Men even if its a good movie they are going to loose a lot of audience with this. |

Even if it wasn't X-Men and it is a good movie, they'll still make peanuts. See A Cure for Wellness. |

Looks like some DTV movie. |

I gotta say, I do like that after Deadpool, Logan, and now this, it seems like Fox is really playing with the superhero format in ways that Marvel Studios and WB/DC wouldn't even dare to. That said, I have no clue how this does. The trailer doesn't really play up the X-Men connection, so I'm not sure how much audiences will make the connection. |

I'd expect future trailers to play up the X-Men connection. I think for now (although nothing special) it looks different enough to raise some interest. Still don't think it will do much more than $120m-$130m at best though. |

I'm just wondering how low the budget is. It's opening in IMAX so there have got to be big action sequences of some kind, but I wouldn't be surprised if it's like 10 Cloverfield Lane and it's all in the last five minutes (although the chances of this being even half as good as that picture are slim). |

Post subject: | Re: X-Men: The New Mutants predictions (04/13/18) |
Yep I believe the action will most likely be concentrated in last 10-15 minutes and most of the movie will be in the asylum. But its interesting that this is being released in IMAX, I thought this will be a small budget movie like $40m-$50m and would not need an IMAX release, this trailer makes even lesser sense now. |

2 years, 2 months later... new trailer tomorrow. LOL I have no idea why they didn't just leave this in August last year. But glad it's finally coming out. |

I must be the only person excited for this film, lol |

It "was" a great take on the genre but with Disney at helm no idea how it will turn around now. |

It might actually be the original cut of the movie |

They need to keep marketing it as a scary movie, imo. |

I liked the first half of the trailer and then its just usual action which is no longer interesting, though I am guessing the second half makes it more accessible to Marvel fans. |

Yeah, this would have been a perfect D+ release but I guess they had an obligation to put it out in theaters. With it being sandwichec between Mulan and Bond I think an opening in the 20s sounds about right. If this turns out to be "fine" the delay really was for nothing lol there were plenty of slots the last 2 years this could've come out. |
