“The pre-release controversy of The Hunt ruined the whole movie,” Blum told Comicbook.
The Hunt was going to be a big hit movie, and the controversy before the movie destroyed the release of the movie.
With The Forever Purge being every bit as political, Jason Blum was asked if he was worried the new movie could suffer the same fate as The Hunt, to which he replied, “I’m worrying about it happening before every movie.
When I get asked what’s my biggest regret running the company, it’s that no one got to see The Hunt because of that controversy.
