What do a horror film, a beloved sitcom, and a superhero movie all have in common? They all suffered from disastrous test screenings. From the bewildering to the outright unforgettable, these screenings ultimately killed the backbone of these films and TV shows.

Poor Disney instead of using test audiences, they are relaying on A.I lol 😅😅😅😅
Test audiences out here ruining good movies with shit endings 😂
The original ending to Little Shop of Horrors is fantastic and fits the dark tone of the movie perfectly.
I wanted to like Friends and Seinfeld but I can't stand either of them.
I remember a test screening that almost got me killed. ("The Last Starfighter" (1984).)
A group of friends and I went to see "The Last Starfighter" at it's opening showing at the Century Theater across the road from the Winchester Mystery House. When we came out, we were talking about how great the film was, and what we liked, when I commented that, "it's even better the second time!" Silence fell, and I explained that weeks earlier I'd accidentally stumbled across a test screening, and didn't tell anyone (we were asked not to). And my friends groaned and expressed a desire to hurt me. (They didn't.)
After that we went to one of our friends apartment and called Lance to tell him how awesome is.
As always thank you so very much for the videos.
Batgirl was basically springtime for Hitler.
Smart woke hollywood elites are paying for certain audience members to be ok with movies. Such as Barbie movie.
1:52 – lesson: never trust testers
My wife and I saw the original ending to Paranormal Activity, where Katie is shot dead by the police. Imagine our surprise when we found they were making a sequel with her in it.
wes anderson's bottle rocket also had one the worst test screenings ever in columbia's history and heard the first national lampoon's vacation had an alternate ending that test audience's really didn't like
Audiences can be really harsh They have different taste. It's shows and movies are going through test audiences. It great they changed Little Shop of Horror. It was bad. Really. I love this movie😊
I believe the concept of test audiences is very deeply flawed and certainly do more harm than good.
2:40 I agree
Moral of the story? Test audiences are trash.
Dr. Neville’s a “slave catcher,” just as slavery was getting abolished, tryna convince slaves that captivity’s normal, & “modern-slavery’s” all in the mind, until “run-away-modern-slaves,” start a riot!

Which movie/TV show are you most surprised to see on this list?
Batgirl should of never been made in the first place after the poor response to Batwoman. Gotham was a far better show.
I thought you were gonna include Aquaman 2.
It's a damn shame what they did to the ending of I am legend. I was blown away when I saw the true ending years later. They should release with better affects and the real ending
Proof test audiences are and have always been drooling idiots who can’t handle the slightest bits of complexity. This is what happens when profit comes before a good story.
So it's the test audience's fault for shitty movies!
WB should've sacked The Flash instead….they could've written off a ton more money.
The test audiences for Seinfeld sound like me. That show is sooo boring!! I only have it on tv when it’s really late & there’s nothing else on. I’m just on my phone.
