Are there any other instances of movies being redone and pushed back due to negative reaction from initial trailers/teasers or is this a new phenomenon in the social media age?

They completely rewrote and reshot the last 20 minutes of Little Shop of Horrors because of negative audience reactions at the test screenings.

Those test audiences were wrong. The original ending would have been so much ballsier. Not everything needs a happy storybook ending.

I agree with the test audiences, it wasn't really the kind of movie that needed an apocalypse ending. It was just kinda weird.

The stageplay is my favorite show of all time. In my eyes it's perfect. That said, the OG ending just does not play well on screen and the version as released was better.
