I guess that makes sense yeah. It's just weird to think about anyone going to see a re-release of an R rated film at a later date that is edited down to be PG-13.

FOX moves Alita: Battle Angel and Dark Phoenix dates and adds PG13 Deadpool for this Christmas
- Thread starter mreddie
- Start date

Fox, how you gonna announce a release date for Dark Phoenix and then delay it two days later? And a PG13 Deadpool re-release? What fucking clowns are running Fox?
and it will be released under the xmen legends branding, similar to the Star Wars EU stuff.
So would that mean they'd remove the Negasonic and Yukio relationship?
I would laugh if for the kid friendly cut they altered or downplayed the LGBT themes. Book it, they are incompetent enough to do it.
No.
However, I believe in most cases, Disney can do whatever they want with the films if they are scheduled after the deal goes through.
The Alita change makes sense. This December is crowded as fuck and it would be absolutely slaughtered.
Oh shit, Dark Phoenix is releasing the same weekend as Secret Life of Pets 2?
And does this mean New Mutants is going to be pushed back yet again as well?
I fully expect New Mutants to be a Hulu original at this point.
"The story of New Mutants will now be told through a 24-minute b-plot in an upcoming episode of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D."
You're not wrong...
Once I got past the eyes, I realized the rest of it was awful, too.

That was clear from the fact that the release date is 3 months from now.

They can by the time this shit comes out. Haha.
(But it's very unlikely Marvel Studios will allow the TV shows to mention the word "mutant" until after the first X-Men film releases.)
While I appreciate and support the success of R rated superhero movies (and more R rated movies in general), personally I find the humor in Deadpool to be overly reliant on cheap shock value. Isn't it funny the superhero said a naughty thing?! Yawn. The parts with situational humor and offbeat interactions with other characters are way funnier to me than the fact that omg ryan said that sex thing I read on urbandictionary.
So a cut with less cheap tricks might actually appeal to me more. Or it might just undermine the whole package and feel real awkward. I guess I'll find out.

Deadpool 2 post release marketing has been weird like they still push the DVD commercials. Like they trying to make sure DP has a mcu spot
No, it was delayed to February 2019 in January of this year, about three months before its original release date. Then in late March, it was delayed again to August 2019.
This is so goddamned weird.
Definitely one of the strangest moves I've seen from a major studio, ever.

that makes sense, but giving the PG-13 cut a significant release elsewhere doesn't seem to
They should just drop all of these and release them directly to a 3AM TV premire on FXX like the pilot for that aborted Wheel of Time TV series.
So this is what the death spiral of a classic, big Hollywood studio like Fox looks like.
Rereleasing an R rated film that's already on home video (and has been torrented ten billion times by the kids they're targeting this PG-13 cut at) is nothing short of a humiliation.
Moving Alita to Valentine's next year is a solid move even if it's not a date film. Dark Phoenix will struggle to cross $100m domestic IMO whenever it opens so it's academic whether it's next Feb or next summer.
It's a real shame.
Sadly I have a feeling that this may not be the last 'big 6' (or big 5 now) studio to circle the drain in the next five years.

Grace Randolph called there being PG13 Deadpool releases. Its a good idea, in the sense that its not but whatever
Yeah, definitely going to wait for some reactions before I buy tickets to that.
