But until like the last few weeks to release did anyone besides @The Pumpkin Spice Panda and maybe @That One Guy (if my memory is right), think that $200M+ DOM was possible?

For IT?? A lot of us expected 200m, myself included. Maybe not a lot expected 300m, but a lot expected 200m

Not interested at all in a Horror movie.  This will most likely be my first X Men movie that I'll pass

[Cookson]

Is there any popular known mutants in this that the GA would know? I have no clue who any of these characters are.

Not unless you've seen X-Men: Evolution

After my 125mil Deadpool prediction I will not count New Mutants out but it will need far more eye catching trailers and good reviews.

Some were claiming 200m, but you can go back and check.  A lot were not expecting that much until it pretty much opened.

Exactly. People were not expecting $150m 6 months before release. All this $200m became common after presales updates started coming.

It happens with every huge breakout.  "It was so obvious that it was going to happen!"

 

Hindsight Bias at work.

I was predicting 200M+ far before presales.  I had that shit pegged!

Totally see Fox lifting the embargo weeks before release like they did for the last few X-films. So far that strategy has worked really well for DOFP, Deadpool and Logan, with Apocalypse being the only backfire.

Sunspot is probably the most well known of the group since he appeared in Days of Future Past and X-Men Evolution. Mirage and Canonball are somewhat known if you grew up watching X-Men Evolution. The others are virtually unknown to the GA.

I spent some time this evening listening to Another Brick in the Wall. All three parts, though Part 2 is the one that people mostly know, and it's the one they sampled for the trailer. The choice of it as music makes a lot of sense. The sequence from The Wall for Part 2 is pretty much nightmare fuel, already. Selecting it here works for the horror aspect, but it also plays really well into the mutants as a metaphor for puberty. (IMO, the best of the various things mutants have been a metaphor... for.)

 

After doing that, I rewatched the trailer. And, it really works for me. I'm not generally into horror, so close genre fans might not be keen on it, but for me, it's a good 'un. It seems to be a good adaptation of the source material (although, not an exact one: Demon Bear is an inspiration, but not a template, so to speak), but it's also sticking true to the horror roots. There's some good Wes Craven in with those mutant genes.

 

(Apparently Boone pitched a trilogy for the New Mutants, each one having a different type of horror. I dig that.)

I like this the more I see it. They’re clever to actually say “X-Men horror film” before the trailer on social media, seems to be getting a good reaction. 

 

It still looks like Split 2 though lol

X-Men Evolution was the shit.

[The Stingray]

I'm all for different, fresh takes on the comic book genre, but the horror elements on display here look generic as hell.
 

[eXtacy2]

What. The. Fuck

 

Just watched the trailer and was not expecting a horror. Have we had a super hero horror before?
