** Essentially, Fox sacrificed this film, which they likely '''had''' given up on, in order to ensure the success of another. The film's Halloween-timed October release was switched with the Thanksgiving release of ''Film/TheMartian'' in order to give that movie a wider berth at the box office, and to move it away from competitive titles like ''[[Film/TheHungerGamesMockingjay Mockingjay Part 2]]'' and ''[[Film/TheForceAwakens Star Wars: The Force Awakens]]'' that would have sucked box office from a film that Fox saw as having much greater potential than ''Frankenstein''. Which turned out great for ''The Martian'', which dominated the October box office amidst a sea of flops, but ''Frankenstein'' wound up drowning at the Thanksgiving box office--in fact, ''The Martian'' made more money on Thanksgiving weekend than ''Victor Frankenstein'' did!
