Yet , this cursed movie seems to have found another stumbling block because , grant to box office reports , Thursday night previews for the film only make do to round up $ 400k in gross revenue . Many films have been delayed , some even indefinitely , because of the COVID-19 pandemic , butThe Huntwas too closemouthed to unloose to make another alteration to their schedule .
