How often does a films name alone turn you off from wanting to see it?

I often find myself looking at upcoming movies via trailers or just release schedule listings and seeing various titles that make me completely disinterested in even watching the trailer. I understand that the movie could be based off a book or some other media and thus the name was already locked in, or someone is just creative with titles in a way that doesn't vibe with me the same.

Examples that come to mind are new/recent movies like Is God Is, I Love Boosters, The Optimist: The Bravest Act Is Truth, Crime 101, The Pizza Movie.

Older examples include when they changed Edge of Tomorrow to Live. Die. Repeat. The original title was already a cool name to me, but the changed name would have turned me away from it. John Carter instead of using John Carter of Mars like the source material. Mystic Pizza, Movie 43 and Now You See Me 2 not being named Now You Don't but the 3rd one was.
