You’d be wrong.

Peter Debruge Chief Film CriticToo late to salvage a summer movie season wiped out by coronavirus, but boldly hoping to bring audiences back to cinemas (or drive-ins at least), a handful of movies are opening widely this weekend — or as widely as they can in a country where many communities are still restricting public gatherings.If time travel were a real thing, one might hope that air-guitar aces Bill and Ted would have warned the world this pandemic were coming.

The Fox ‘X-Men’ franchise is now over. And thank the lord! No, I don’t say that as someone who hates superhero movies and wishes they’d all go away.

For years now (literally), we’ve discussed the behind-the-scenes drama that has gone on regarding “The New Mutants.” The last remaining piece of the Fox/Marvel puzzle, which was originally supposed to be released in 2018 and is now arriving tomorrow, has been written about time and time again regarding the reports of disagreements between the studio and filmmaker Josh Boone and planned reshoots that were supposed to overhaul the film but never happened.
