Yeah... Marianelli is definitely lucky to have worked on something for a year and then be replaced without ever getting his work finished until truly presentable state.
Well... at least we'll get another generic score instead of what could have been one of the best scores of the year.
John Powell, generic??! I like Marianelli too, and it's a shame he's off the project, but I'm shocked to hear you feel this way about Powell's music. To me, the vast majority of his work is creative and distinctive and doesn't sound like it could be written by anyone else. It's other composers who are made to sound like HIM!

This didn't look terribly appealing to me anyway, but I was going to give it a chance since I love Joe Wright's films, as well as Marianelli's scores to his films. Knowing that the studio stuck its nose where it didn't belong and pulled the score takes away most of the incentive I had to see this.

A bomb of... mythical proportions?

PM was a bomb in the U.S.; it didn't make it's budget back with domestic take-in's, according to information online. However, with world-wide take-in's, it profitted big. For some reason the rest of the world thought it would be a good idea to see the movie.

Ya smell that? I smell a colossal bomb. Not quite on the scale of Jupiter Ascending or Pacific Rim bomb. But pretty close.
If "Pan" was moved to September or January 2016, then that would be a huge red flag. However, some non-horror films have hit it big in October (namely WB's own "Gravity" back in 2013). Fox even has an X-Men spinoff slated for October 2016.
In one of the trade reports, there was a statement from Dan Fellman about why they moved "Pan" from July 24 to October 9. He mentioned the strong competition from Paramount's MI5 and Marvel's "Ant-Man" and that he anticipates that the movie will generate strong word-of-mouth due to the less crowded fall corridor.
Don't be so quick to say "WB moved it from summer to fall... IT'S A BOMB!" Disappointed about Marianelli being off the film though.
To plan a big budget film for the summer and then move it because of the "strong competition" is never a good sign. The damage control with statements in the trades doesn´t help. And to say that "the effects needed more time"... that´s the exact explanation for "Jupiter Ascending"´s move from summer last year. By the same studio, Warner Bros., by the way.
In connection with Marianelli´s score thrown out - this only can mean that the film did not preview well at all. And the online buzz after the release of the trailer was pretty devestating as well. Frankly, the more I see of "Pan" the more I think of "Hook". And that one at least had Steven Spielberg as a director. I like Joe Wright´s work - but I think "Pan" is an absolutely misguided idea.

1.) The Film is being recut to make changes that will make it more "Family Friendly", certain characters are being changed so they are more "Family Friendly"
2.) The Additional time will allow them to make these changes and open at a point when a family friendly film will stand a good chance at making it's $$$ back.
3.) The Studio clearly wasn't happy with the director's vision and so now they can only go back recut reshoot a few things and re-score.
Such is life in Hollywood.
