The article doesn’t articulate a lot of reasons other than it was released too close to Del Toro’s Frankenstein movie.
It is kind of baffling to me that anyone ever thought a 90 million dollar Bride of Frankenstein movie would be a good ROI.
I guess the whole Dark Universe clusterfuck didn’t really teach anyone anything. Do they really think there is an audience for any of these classic monsters?
yeah I just don't see the point of the melania movie.
They should definitely do a version of Melania with the classic pairing of Peter Cushing and Christopher Lee, and then Abbot & Costello Meet Melania.
They get numbers of people buying and watching the classic universal monster movies on streaming or blu-ray and assume they want a modern retelling but that's kinda the opposite of what those people are paying money to get.
I mean del toros monster movies are pretty sick
You'll notice he doesn't really lean that into "black vomit" in his monster fucker fanfics.
