The New Mutants is on top at the box office.

The Marvel movie opened to $7 million from 2,412 theaters in North America amid the pandemic, THR reported Sunday (August 30).

“The long-delayed horror movie is one of the first titles to launch nationwide after a five-month theater shutdown across the U.S. The film came in on the lower end of expectations, although projections are tough in this climate. About 62 percent of the marketplace is open,” the outlet reports.

“There are still significant challenges facing the marketplace due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic (Hurricane Laura is also a concern to pose issues in parts of the south).”

Other debuts include Unhinged, which opened to $4 million, an Bill & Ted Face the Music, opening at $1.06 million from 1,007 theaters.

One of the creators of The New Mutants is not so happy with the movie, however.

Artist Bob McLeod, who co-created The New Mutants with writer Chris Claremont, is speaking out.

The 69-year-old artist spoke out on social media upon the release of the 2020 film based on his Marvel series.

“I was very excited when I heard they were making a New Mutants movie. I thought making it into a horror movie was perhaps an interesting idea, but not at all how the characters should be introduced to the public at large. But, hey, my characters in a movie! I never would have thought that would actually happen,” he wrote.

“But then, I was disappointed when they didn’t give Patti braids, although I like Blu Hunt. I was disappointed when Rahne wasn’t a redhead with spiky hair, although I adore Maisie Williams. I was disappointed that Sam isn’t tall and gawky, although I do like Charlie Heaton. But mainly I was very disappointed that Roberto isn’t short and dark-skinned. Yet another example of Hollywood white-washing. There’s just no excuse. So basically, #JoshBoone erased everything I contributed to the way the characters look. And now, the movie has come out at last, and apparently they’ve credited someone named Bob Macleod as co-creator. They couldn’t even be bothered to check the spelling of my name sometime in the last three years. And that can’t be fixed. That will be on the movie forever. I think I’m done with this movie.”

The movie’s director just deleted his Instagram after the film’s release…
