I really don't see the point of making a prequel that retcons the original films. Hollywood does it all the time, and when you hear the creators it is always to own the fans in some way. As in: "this will anger the fans of the original"
I don't understand how they think it's a good idea given that the fans are the reason the movies are worth making sequels, prequels, and reboots of.
So they seem to intentionally NOT want the fans to see it, and then are always angered when the movies fail.
But sometimes it's because Hollywood hires people who proudly didn't see the source material and then don't require them to watch the source material.
In either case they always seem shocked when the movie fails.
I read the plot and... didn't see it until fate made me, and the reason I didn't see it is because they outright said what they retconed.
I'm not sure if it failed or not, but watching through it I couldn't help but think "Why rewrite the Omen? Why does my wife want to watch this?" and then when it was over "Well, yeah, I can understand why you don't like it honey, you're right, they changed too much."
