Maybe @Barnack can dig something up regarding the budget..

Looks under 50 mill IMO

 

Trailer was okay. Certainly a fresh new take on the X universe

Massachusetts production, will probably stay an unknown budget.

The more I watch the more I like. I hope that scaled down SFX/action becomes a trend.

You can watch Netflix or any of the Network TV shows if you want to see scaled down superheroes.

This is a general announcement that I'll make in several high-profile threads, so hopefully everyone will see it. 

 

Starting today, mods have the discretion to add a couple of warning points to thread-bans. In other words, if you get multiple thread-bans, you run a higher risk of getting suspended.

I have no problem with low budget superhero movies if the material doesn't call for a big budget but I don't want a scaled down Avengers, Justice League or Wonder Woman movie. New Mutants being a smaller movie is fine, I just hope that it's an interesting movie.

i really dig what fox are doing with their comic book shit especially since they have only one usable property. recognising they can't compete with the other big ones on a scale level and stretching what a superhero movie can be.  people saying they make superhero movies ashamed to be hero movies or they're not really in that genre, i dunno what to tell you. that is not a smart point.

It's definitely one of the dumber squares on The Futurist Bingo Board.

I'm all for experimentation. I love Legion and Logan but this was formulaic horror.

 

So artistically it's kind of uninspired.

 

Financially, why go from the superhero genre to the horror genre where you're lucky to hit 100 m DOM.

 

I believe the kids call that "hustling backwards".

If they keep the budget low - and this w/o seeing anything else looks like any other $20-30m Horror film - then $100m dom for it would be great. 

 

Personally, this doesn't much appeal to me since I don't much care for horror films but they need to diversify X-Men movies especially if they're going to continue doing the main series along the same lines they've been doing since 2000.

Looks bad.
 

[LaughingEvans]

I think they went overboard with the horror element

It is da truf !

I think although Panther and Aquaman will be big CBM breakouts ($300M+ DOM), I think this has a chance to be the highest grossing non Deadpool X-Men domestically.

Just saw the trailer. My thoughts below

 

- It was a decent trailer for a horro/mystery thriller movie but without the Marvel logo at the front and the singular use of the word 'mutant' one would think this was not a superhero movie at all

- Music/Song choice was good

- I am intrigued by this now whereas previously I was more interested in the Dark Phoenix movie. I dont know if there ever was a SH movie with a horror theme to it. They kind tries it with Fant4stic but failed so I hope Fox doesnt falter here. 

- it still is my least anticipated of the 6 live action SH movies next year. 

- Budget for this must be really low which is good for this as it wouldnt need to make a lot of money to be profitable

- Overall I liked the trailer

You see this doing more than 235 million? I dont think this will cross 200. 150 would be a great target for this especially if budget is low

[The Futurist]

We should all make a bet and guess what (rock) song will be used to promote Deadpool 2.

 

My guess : a rock cover of Britney Spears : Hit me Baby One more Time.

Queen - Don't Stop me now.

 

 

I'll buy tickets for all the movies that the trailer is attached to if they do this.

IT did way better than most expected. It was an absolute breakout proving R rated horror movies can be blockbusters. Also Split and Get Out wer no slouches. This'll will attract the horror fans, CBM fans and teens given the YA movie vibes. I know $300M isn't happening but this can surprise.
