I'm not sure what your goal is with regards to American Assassin but your "interpretations" are just bizarre



1) Guardians of the Galaxy comes out in early May, and the 100% screening wasn't their first test screening - no need to meddle things. It's perfectly normal for a screening to happen now, 5 months before the premiere. Downsizing with Matt Damon had a test screeening last week - it comes out in December 2017; The Star had a test screening last week - it is released in November 2017; Crooked House had a test screening last week - release date? September 2017... Want me to go on?



2) Cuesta is by no means an inexperienced filmmaker. Seems like you conveniently forgot his work on Kill the Messenger, Dexter, Homeland, and Six Feet Under - just to name a few. And even if you'd consider that "inexperienced", just remember that a lot of filmmakers who take on enormous properties expected to make a lot of money nowadays actually have a lot less experience than him (e.g. at Marvel)



3) If you'd taken a look at the screening account, you would have seen that all of their screenings seem to be for the same age group. That's not an indication of "not having a clue who their target audience is". It's a first screening!



4) Just because their testing audience is 17+, doesn't mean the movie will be rated R. It's obvious that minors don't attend screenings unless it's specifically targeted for them. And there are good reasons for that, mainly logistics related to NDAs.
