‘New Mutants’: The Cast Gets You Prepped For The Superhero Film As Tickets Go On Sale

grossed $53 million, an impressive figure given the fact that some audience members likely steered clear of multiplexes due to public health concerns.When “Tenet” opens in the U.S. this week, it will only be available in markets where theaters have been allowed to reopen.

Editor’s Note: ‘The New Mutants’ was reviewed after a public screening at a drive-in theater. Given the ongoing health concerns regarding COVID-19, we recommend listening to experts and understanding the facts before deciding to go to a theater.

Josh Boone, the director and co-writer of the new X-Men spinoff movie The New Mutants, has deleted his Instagram page.

Despite thousands of theaters both in the U.S. and abroad still closed, the biggest movies of the summer are making big first impressions at the box office, as moviegoing resumes in North America and blockbusters return to the screen.

You would think that after a week of bad press for “The New Mutants,” which included director Josh Boone defending the film’s whitewashing of an Afro-Latino character, reports of Fox nearly throwing the entire thing in the garbage to start over, and reviews calling it “the worst ‘X-Men‘” movie yet, the film would finally find some peace now that it’s finally in theaters. You’d be wrong.

Dave McNary Film ReporterWith North American moviegoing slowly resuming, the X-Men spinoff “The New Mutants” opened with a solid $3.1 million at 2,412 locations on Friday.That first-day figure portends a weekend opening in line with Disney’s forecast of $7 million to $10 million.

The New Mutants was a movie that I wasn’t sure we would ever see.After literally years (original release date was April 13, 2018), we are finally going to see the Marvel/Mutant/Horror film. after being pushed back multiple times and the Disney acquisition of Fox, this film was left in purgatory.

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.

Eli Countryman Bob McLeod, the “New Mutants” comic series’ co-creator, took to Facebook Friday to express his concerns over the new film, including white-washing and the misspelling of his own name in the credits.“I was very excited when I heard they were making a New Mutants movie,” his Facebook post starts.

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.

Charlie Heaton admits. The «it» in question is, a Marvel movie so long-delayed it has achieved urban legend status, about a band of mutant misfits (played by Anya Taylor-Joy, Maisie Williams, Henry Zaga, Blu Hunt and Heaton) grappling with their newfound powers.The skepticism is understandable: was originally slated for release in 2018.

any film is worth the risk inherent in venturing to a movie theater. I won’t presume to answer that question on anyone else’s behalf, but suffice to say that “New Mutants” isn’t exactly a groundbreaking cinematic experience.

“The New Mutants,” the long-delayed superhero movie from 20th Century Studios that’s set in the X-Men universe and stars Maisie Williams and Anya Taylor-Joy, made $750,000 in Thursday night previews as audiences returned to the box office in earnest for one of the first times in months.In all, just 62% of the domestic marketplace of movie theaters is open across the country, and “The New Mutants” did not play in California, New York, New Jersey, Arizona (partial), North Carolina, Michigan,

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.

Not only is “The New Mutants” the final piece to the Fox/‘X-Men’ universe puzzle (mainly because of its two-year delay), but the film also marks one of the most diverse and inclusive films in the 20-year-old Marvel franchise, with its LGBTQ+ themes and multi-racial cast. Obviously, that’s something that director Josh Boone wanted to emphasize in his film.

“The New Mutants” is finally, finally hitting theaters (where theaters are open). Considering the long, winding, and convoluted path this movie took over the last couple years, its eventual theatrical release calls for at least some sort of celebration, right? Josh Boone, the director of “The New Mutants,” seems to think so, as he’s already speaking openly about what projects he’d like to work on next.

If you’ve never seen a teen movie, a superhero movie, an asylum-set psychological thriller, Nightmare on Elm Street or a single episode of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, then perhaps The New Mutants will be something of an eye-opening experience.
