Probably "enough theaters that we can get academy awards from it". If it does gangbusters they may throw it in more theaters, but it being a Netflix produced feature, their focus will be on their streaming platform.
Del Toro has a sublime visual sense, but... yeah, his movies usually leave me cold. Not much of a storyteller, IMO. Pan's Labyrinth was an exception, though, and I'm hopeful that the strength of the material he's adapting here helps pull it across the finish line.

I hadn't heard he was directing a Frankenstein, but he sounds like the perfect director to tackle that story. I'm excited to see this.

Already looks more connected to the book than anything that's ever been out before.

These looks like covers for some AAA action game with a higher budget for marketing than programming.

It looks like a Lies of P sequel moving to the Frankenstein lore.

That would unironically be dope though.
Maybe you could be the monster and swap out parts from defeated enemies?

Okay, that does sound great.

"only in select theaters"? Really? A Del Toro movie?

I watched "Frankenhooker" last week. I don't think they can beat this.

I am really excited for this but a bit sad it releases in november. It would fit a ton better in october during halloween.

He has a history of great looking monsters.

For sure. I have no doubt that this will be the best looking Frankenstein movie ever made.

Pan's Labyrinth was great? Hellboy was immaculate?

Hellboy was trash..

That's a weird way of spelling "perfect movie". Also, who hurt you?
