Why aren't they letting people know it's two parts?


Afraid it will flop harder than it's going to?

I only learned this from your post. Funny, when my parents took me to see it on Broadway with Idina Menzel and Kristin Chenoweth, it played out spectacularly in one evening.
Plus, Cynthia Erivo is 37 years old and doesn't look a day over 50.

Surprised to hear that. They could have made that a little more clear on the poster. There is no indication of a "part 1" and "part 2" there. Or even a supplemental title indicating that there are two films.

Not sure why this is btw. It could have easily been one film instead of two.

If they've learned anything from Mission Impossible: DEAD RECKONING using the PART 1 tagline, it's not to since the movie lost $$$$$ because of it and BARBIE steamrolling everything in it's path didn't help either, plus, loss of IMAX Screens too

It’s just going to piss people off not warning them ahead of time.

That could hurt sales for Part 2.

So could this movie sucking.

I saw the touring version and loved it but the actresses they chose for the two leads in the film look awful.

I’m waiting for it to hit streaming.

yeah, if Mission Impossible didn't make it clear, Kevin Costner's Horizon part 1 pretty much shut this strategy down forever.

My sister was very excited to see this and was dragging me with her. She flipped out when she learned this was just part 1 and canceled those plans immediately. She dont put up with that half movie bullshit. (She's still hella cross Divergent was never finished). I would guess a lot of folks are gonna feel that way.
