Like if Fox ever gave a crap, they probably didn't even remember.

Amazon pulled the pre-order

Hopefully that means it will be released in theaters.

I just want to see it. I'd take on demand now rather than wait a year for it to get dumped.

They probably put it up too early. Give it a couple of days and we may see an official announcement.

In DOFP, he looks pretty cool, but when he powers up he just looks like a guy on fire. I hope in New Mutants, they make him look more like he does in the comics as an all black silhouette with a halo of flame and Kirby Krackle around him.

We can pretend that the "Fire Form" was a secondary mutation emerged in recent years, before 2023. Also, the DOFP Sunspot did not show any superstrength.


By the way, are the cinematic New Mutants supposed to become future X-Men recruits? Will the X-Men be at least mentioned in some way?

If they are gonna sell it only on digital, I hope they will use the title "X-Men: The New Mutants".

I doubt it. There's really no need to throw "X-Men" in the title. Even if there are references to the X-Men, this will pretty much stand on its own much like The Wolverine and Logan, as well as the Deadpool movies have.

Probably wouldn't have surprised me if that was an international title for the film though.

NEW MUTANTS SPARKED a frenzy when it briefly was listed on Amazon this week, only to be pulled hours later. The PVOD preorder listing was apparently a mistake, with Amazon's system automatically including it based on the film's previous April release date pre-pandemic shutdown.

Sources say the long-delayed X-Men film is still planned for a theatrical release.

I'd like to know what the magic number is for Studios between, making money on VOD/Streaming/Blu-Ray for a movie to be dropped.

Sounds fishy, why was it $25.99 then?

[prkprkprk]

Yeah, I don't buy it. The weird 1-month-after-the-planned-release-date timing and $25.99 price are both still unexplained. Wouldn't be surprised if they're just trying to cover it up since a digital release isn't officially announced yet.

That's the most likely explanation here. But I do wonder what they're holding out for if that's the case.

[Joey9775]

I wonder if there is a contractual obligation at play here. Maybe there's an expiration date and Disney can't officially put this on demand until that date occurs.

Must be. They probably wanna be done with it and sweep it under the rug.

[brooks101189]

Yeah, I don't entirely trust it myself.

There's no expiration date (aside from Fox's overall streaming deal with HBO, which still has a couple of years left). If they want to put it on VOD for rental, it would take the sign-off of several of the involved parties. From what I'm told, that hasn't happened as of now and a theatrical release is still planned (though undated).
