The petition against the Haunting Adeline movie has passed 15,000 signatures

The campaign has become the clearest public symbol of opposition to the film—but it is not a scientific measure of general opinion.

What opponents argue

The petition says a visual adaptation risks romanticising stalking, coercion and sexual violence and giving those themes a broader, younger-facing promotional machine.

What the milestone proves

It proves organised opposition is large enough to attract press and create reputational pressure. It does not prove most readers or moviegoers oppose the film because participation is voluntary and self-selecting.

Could it cancel the film?

A petition has no automatic power to stop a privately developed production. Its effect depends on rights, financing, studio decisions and public pressure—details that remain unannounced.
