I don't think the costs for letting the editors finish and getting the thing scored can't be that great compared to th costs of filming. But there's still all the costs for distribution and marketing ahead. If they think the potential profits of the movie are lower than those costs, then cutting the losses now is the reasonable step.They also need to be concerned about brand reputation. If this movie gets torn to pieces for being awful, it could very well support opinions that the time of superhero movies is at an end and they are now throwing out cheap trash to squeeze the last money out of them before they give up on these movies completely. Even if a release would make the movie break even, it could hurt future ticket sales.And from what I've read in the past, canning almost complete movies isn't that unusual. Happens all the time, though usually to productions without large numbers of fans anticipating them.</blockquote>
