Re: Twisters
Yeah this had been a big wildcard for me before this week, felt like a movie that could easily end up being a Independence day: Resurgence level non-event and make $100M or even less, but this ended up being the third biggest benefactor from the Super Bowl among the movies, and not far behind Deadpool 3 or Wicked despite not having nearly as strong of a built-in fanbase as either. So that raises the basement for this to $100-150M at least. Opening just one week before Deadpool & Wolverine is a little close for comfort, but as long as it's good it should withstand that movie and possibly leg out through August.

Re: Twisters
Trailer is good, I have no idea how this is going to do....it is a remake ? But with Glenn Powell's top gun character in the lead?

Re: Twisters
Jurassic World showed that blatant reliance on nostalgia works. This won’t reach the heights of JW but it will play well to a four quadrant audience hungry for a big budget non MCU adventure.

Re: Twisters
This will tank.
No one cares about disaster movies anymore. The original has little if any pop culture footprint. Glen Powell won’t be able to save it.

Re: Twisters
Feeling CW's box office is a positive sign for Twisters. $26M weekend from a small indie studio with no huge stars in mid April.
Twisters is opening in mid July, backed by Universal, star on the rise with Powell, a sequel with some element of nostalgia, and more global playability than CW. Up and coming director post Minari.
Feeling like it can do $40M+ here. Likely much more. Most importantly, showing audiences are willing to show up to disaster movies.

Re: Twisters
July looks so barren it'll probably open well. It looks like it could be entertaining. Opening a week before Deadpool is eh, maybe it should move up one weekend
