$468.4 million's why.

I don't see how it discredits my argument. There's of course always the chance a movie will suck even if it does take risks. That's art in general. But Fox has been two for three in terms of their more genre-bending CBMs. Not to mention, Fantastic Four had a notoriously disastrous production, with a lot of butting heads and a hard to work with director. Obviously, we won't know how good the film is and whether production ran smoothly or not until months later, but Boone has been able to pull off a well-received film before, and while he hasn't done anything horror-related, he seems like a trustworthy director. Also, Fantastic Four was only given studio meddling because of negative fan feedback and a douchey director. Deadpool and Logan were made with little interference, at least to my knowledge, and production ran smoothly and obviously were big moneymakers. I see little reason why New Mutants will be any different unless Boone is a douche to work with or fans feel the horror elements are against what NM stands for. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

DAMMIT HAN DON'T RUIN MY POINT

I love how Fox is trying to take risks and go for different spins and cross genres on their funny book movies.

Yo, did they just make Gangsta's Paradise somehow even more epic? SIGN ME UP!

Allow me to say that I still haven't really paid all that much attention to the movie, but I got an ad for the movie while watching Guardians 2 (not the trailer, but something linked to a charity my theater runs which Valerian's sponsoring), and the little footage I saw honestly was pretty jaw-dropping. I didn't think it looked incredible on my laptop, but on the big screen it was pure eye candy. I don't know if I'll see it or not, but I'm now somewhat hooked...although hopefully, I'll like more than just the pretty visuals.

Anectodal, but when I got the trailer for Split for a movie my brother and I saw, he admitted that he thought it looked interesting, but was turned off by Shyamalan's name being mentioned. Granted he's very reluctant to go to the movies, but there's probably still some people who may know Shyamalan's name but don't find it as a reason to go.

At least Amanda Seyfried's getting work again. I know Ted 2 wasn't that long ago, but it feels like forever since I've seen her.

Paging @Tele Came Back

Question: How much should I see of the series before I jump into this? The movie looks hella dope, but I don't want to get lost during it.

Probably somewhere between Middle School and Monster Trucks. The closest comp I could find was $375K for Smurfs: The Lost Village, but that movie came out when Spring Break was still in session.
