Because of four date changes that delayed the film until 2020 (holding the record for most release delays until Morbius), the film being thrown into theaters at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, and Disney’s acquisition of Fox, The New Mutants had a disappointing box office performance....

Spoiler Warning: A24’s Men Men is Alex Garland’s follow-up to Annihilation and Ex-Machina. While Garland dabbled with horror in his first two films, Men is his first true horror picture. Ex-Machina was Garland’s most accessible film, although the ending left audiences speculating on its true meaning. Annihilation was a surreal version of Tarkovsky’s Stalker.
