Yeah video looks fake, but I do kinda believe that Disney may announce this is hitting Disney Plus soon. Very possible they would buy the movie out of its contract with HBO.

Didn't the rumors mention that the actors contracts require Fox to release it in theatre first? And also the HBO thing of course. Really doubt they will release on D+ right away unless they can find some loopholes. It will be worse if they release on D+ for several weeks as theatrical release and then move it to HBO to fulfill the HBO-Fox deal

Contracts can be renegotiated. Especially in this pandemic.

Apparently there is a possible loophole for the HBO deal:

Looks like some bored hoaxer wanted to try and poke at the Elder God Heralding the End of Days that is the New Mutants movie?

I would expect some lower profile movies to keep releasing digitally, particularly those that have been delayed due to quality concerns and/or poor test screenings. It's just not worth it to release them on empty theaters.

I can only hope for highly anticipated films to go the same route but I suppose that's still far off.

Skyler is really accurate when it comes to stories so I think the leak may be real. It does contain new footage after all?

It's gonna hurt everyone when the USA can't make it to theaters this far (or the foreseeable future). Mainly its gonna hurt US movie fans though since the studios will figure out real quick where they can get their money. And it ain't here in America right now.

Why is Disney so resistant to just dump New Mutants on D+ when it feels like they COULDN'T WAIT to just shunt over Artemis Fowl over there???
Artemis Fowl is their movie. New Mutants is one they inherited, with contracts drawn up by a different studio. It's possible they could find a way out of that but I'd assume that, with or without covid, the reason they've been committed to a theatrical release so far is because they had no other choice.

This movie was never gonna make bank, it's a huge waste and in these times, just dump it on VOD or go straight to D+. Or why not do a limited time VOD early release then toss it to D+?

Besides the above multiple posts you missed, the second they put it on VOD, the existing HBO-Fox Studio contract kicks in and it is required to go to HBO. This is the case for all Fox Films until 2022.

Unless they found a legal out on the theater contract, which they may have, that's not an option Disney wants to take.

All the investors who put money into it want as much money back as possible.

I thought they were annoyed how Dark Phoenix was sent out to die(not like anything could save it).

I'm looking forward to the 25th anniversary Zoom Panel with the cast and Josh Gad. I think we'll finally get a release date.

Just saw an ad on TV to see this in theatres Aug 28th. It's actually happening. 🙃 I'm in Canada though.

There was a bunch of ads on Hulu live TV when I was watching golf this weekend. It seems like we will finally get this released.

It's mindblowing to me that New Mutants of all films will have the honors to usher in the theatrical re-opening for blockbuster releases.

Even though I think the clip they showed a month ago and the effects look rather bad, I'm still so much into this cast. Anya gonna steal the show on this one.



Anyone going out to watch it? I'm ready for September 2.
