LOS ANGELES, - Superhero thriller “The New Mutants,” one of the first major movies to open since coronavirus caused theaters to close in March, launched to $7 million over the weekend. Though ticket sales were on the lower end of expectations, the Disney and 20th Century Studios release marks the biggest debut yet for a new release during the pandemic.
Even before the pandemic hit, “The New Mutants” was facing headwinds. The”X-Men” spinoff, about young mutants discovering their powers, had a particularly arduous journey to the big screen since it was initially scheduled to release in 2018. It reportedly went through extensive reshoots and has been delayed numerous times.
“The New Mutants” bowed this weekend alongside a number of fresh offerings, including Keanu Reeves and Alex Winter’s “Bill and Ted Face the Music” and “The Personal History of David Copperfield” starring Dev Patel.
