Bill Paxton was maybe one of the bests in this, he was one of the best thing about the original, killed by an Islamo Iranian guy who called himself a heart surgeon Cedars-Sinai Medical Center city of fallen Demons Hell.A Commieofornia, the non profit businessmen paid the family some money, U.S News ranked Cedars-Sinai the best hospital in Commiefornia are the rest of the hospitals like Voodoo Taliban sites?

Bill Paxton was a solid actor, Aliens, Tombstone, The Terminator, True Lies, Apollo 13, Titanic, Weird Science, Edge of Tomorrow he didn't maybe have the star power of the A + + celebrity but he was always working on a big project and did it all, tv Texas Rising, Agents of Shield.

If Helen Hunt, Jami Gertz, Cary Elwes had starts they might have created more hype or they could have connected to dots the original by some plot.

not sure on this maybe I will watch an old Helen Hunt or Bill Baxton movie instead or one of their many movie and tv performances

Yeah. I think it probably would have made a pallet of money in 2019. I don't see any scenario in any post-Covid year where any of this was a good idea though.

Does it make less than Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire? Even less than The Fall Guy will?

I don't know, but I'm hoping that it does even worse than Argylle did. That is to say less than $96 Million on the exact same $200 Million budget. I'm sure Argylle was a better movie than whatever this garbage is going to be.

I have little hope that audiences will reject Twisters to that extent though.

At least Ghostbusters and Fall Guy had all star casts, this does not. The trailer looks like a comercial for Dodge Trucks

Twisters looks set to add more momentum to the Summer season this weekend, with $2 million from special screenings on Wednesday, $8.7 million from previews on Thursday, and reportedly excellent business already on Friday. Based on the official info we have so far, it looks as though it should earn more than $60 million this weekend, which is an excellent result for a movie that’s arriving more than 28 years after the previous installment in the franchise. Meanwhile, Oddity will try to find its way into the top ten, hot on the heals of Longlegs’ big debut last weekend.

Further outings for the franchise seem very likely given the result so far, but this may be a case of absence making audiences grow fonder of the idea—there’s only so much one can do with the concept, one would think. (Aside from adding sharks, of course.)

The movie simply lacks any relatability to most people overseas and it doesn't have strong enough spectacle to overcome that. Idiots chasing twisters and tornadoes with high tech for fun and then being surprised it's dangerous when they are already inside is not something particularly exciting or very interesting.

The global cume, largely boosted by domestic’s heartland turnout this weekend, is now $123.2M. Universal has domestic rights and Warner is handling overseas where $27.1M was wrangled from 76 markets this frame. That’s after early release in 38 markets last session. This weekend saw a 30% drop overall overseas, for a $42.7M offshore cume.

I'd have to look into the numbers of Resurrections, Space Jam 2 and even Black Adam over again to speak to those, but it will not be as big of a failure os The Marvels or The Flash. It would literally be impossible for it to ever be as bad as Indy 5 simply because only Disney is insane enough to put a $345 Million production budget on a movie.

Without looking at the others on your list that I mentioned, it probably behaves the most like The Flash. That movie also had a $200 Million budget, but only grossed $266.5 Million.



Twisters made $124.7 Million worldwide opening weekend, minus the $11 Million or so it had already made overseas in 37 territories the weekend before.

So it made 62.4% of its production budget on opening weekend (when generously including the $11 Million from the weekend before).

Only one movie did numbers like that in 2024 and ended up coming back and making money. That was Universals kids movie "Migration".




Like the rest of the media, Bruce continues to lie about the financial success of Twisters...

Twisters hits blockbuster territory with $80-million opening

s-hits-blockbuster-territory-with-80-million-opening
Box office at least $100+ million combined US Domestic and Overseas

Yeah Bruce... You forgot the part where even with a one week $11 Million international head start it only has garnered $43.5 Million internationally.

And look at this dumb shit he wrote at the end...

Our model expects Twisters to make $214 million domestically, based on its opening weekend performance, but there’s obviously a lot of uncertainty in that prediction (anything between $170 million and $410 million would be within the margin of error). So it’ll be interesting to see how the next week or two goes for the movie.

---

Your model has a margin of error so wide that a $214 Million prediction on your part could fluctuate $44 Million down or up to $196 Million higher??????

First off, if you were a political strategist you'd be 10 times worse than Nate Silver is at his job with those numbers. Pick any random weather man and they could make better predictions on the final number of Twisters than you apparently can.

Secondly, that's got to be a string of typos because it doesn't even make any sense. That's not how the margin of error works. For example, +/-4% means the number could end up 4% lower or 4% higher than the number you're sticking with.

The number you're sticking with now is $214 Million. $170 Million would be -20.6% of that. $410 Million would be an increase of 91.6% of your chosen number.

WTF, Bruce?

Make this make sense.



To go beyond that, let's work with that $214 Million domestic total number Bruce put out there and disregard his nonsensical margin of error claims.

Currently, even with that one week international head start in half of the countries that are showing it now, the International Take has only been 34.9% of the Domestic box office.

34.9% of $214 Million is $74.7 Million. (Which it may not even get because, again, about 1/4 of that International box office was from the week long head start).

That's $289 Million worldwide on a $200 Million budget.

It needed $500 Million to break even.




So if Bruce's $214 Million Domestic total has any merit to it and the international market maintains equilibrium or even goes down, my statement above that this behaves the most like The Flash will be correct. Both movies needed half a billion to break even, and both movies would have made under $300 Million while only being about $23 Million apart from each other in total worldwide grosses.

Also its the 'Summer Season' so more people have time to go to the cinema

but to put it in perceptive back in 1996 you had ID4 or Independence Day, The Rock, Nutty Professor, Ransom, The Birdcage, A Time to Kill, 101 Dalmatians Walt Disney Studios M-Pictures, The First Wives Club, MissionImpossible, ...and the original of Twisters came in 2nd place against ID4
