True about reshoots generally , but considering the overwhelmingly negative reactions from people who have read the script / seen the screenings I think it's fair to say fox know without change , the film will not be successful. I reckon it's the studio who have pushed for reshoots not black . I could be wrong , but I remember black explaining a few years back that this was going to be a big budget film , so if that's the case and fox have invested heavily, then it's safe to say they are worried , considering early reactions . I don't think it means the film is totally doomed , because after all Shane black is a good director , but I think in terms of box office success, I think it will be the same as predators , alien covenant and Prometheus . People have become used to not expecting much from these franchises. And while we are all die hard fans , most people just want to watch a memorable movie . Unfortunately as much as I enjoy predator and alien as characters , the films over the last 20 years have lacked in creativity and flare. Same as terminator , Jurassic park and many other franchises from the 80s and 90s.
