They’re going horror. Suicide Squad didn’t have the luxury of being retooled and reshot like this movie, just chopped up in the editing room. You make it sound like 300m is hard to achieve for an X-men spinoff films when the box office records show otherwise. If they can market this well and have a good movie on their hands, they can surpass that, especially with the horror genre and it’s targeted demographic

Ruben has said numerous l times this movie was going to be unexpectedly funny in a lot of ways. He’s called it a buddy action comedy with some horror elements. I posted a video earlier in this where the ScreenJunkies crew reference their interview with him. Here’s just one time he’s said something of that nature “To me, he's this perfect balance of the most scary, intense, menacing figure, but he undercuts it with a sense of humor, these great lines in the comics, and he has that goofy tongue, so there's this unexpected lightness to something really dark, and that's what we tried to embrace with the film. We wanted to obviously make it dark and scary and a thriller, but also make it really entertaining, and fun for audiences. There's an unexpected, I think, amount of humor in the movie, and I am really proud of just having made something for fans, and just general audiences, to just go to the theater and enjoy.”

Reshoots were planned to make it a horror as originally envisioned. https://m.ign.com/articles/2018/09/27/gambit-movie-will-be-a-romantic-comedy-says-producer With regard to New Mutants, Kinberg confirmed the film has gone into reshoots largely in order to make the film scarier. Referencing positive responses to the film's trailer, Kinberg said, "audiences really embraced the notion of a superhero movie or a comic book movie that was, in its core, a horror film."

http://www.tracking-board.com/inside-the-drama-surrounding-foxs-new-mutants-including-a-top-secret-new-cast-member-exclusive/ “Boone and Lee wrote the initial drafts of the script, but they were replaced and brought back multiple times. The studio even assembled a writer’s room to tear apart the script and put it back together. So while Boone and Lee might have their names on every draft, agency sources insist that this film was written by committee. According to those sources, here are all of the writers who had a direct hand in the New Mutants script: Scott Neustadter & Michael Weber, Josh Zetumer, Chad & Carey Hayes and Seth Grahame-Smith, plus there were six more guys in a writer’s room tasked with generating ideas for the film.” Seth was a heavily involved producer and writer on IT. This development is less surprising in light of that. Chad & Carey Hayes have horror films under their belt, having written The Conjuring movies. Boone did talk about the YA and traditional cbm elements of the film in other interviews. His words may have also been influenced when these decisions were made closer to the time of the interview
