$200 Million budget. It needs $500 Million to break even.
I can't imagine anybody giving a shit about this one. And $200 Million is insane for sequel made 25 years too late.
Drops in theaters on July 19th.

So it gets to miss the 4th celebration and vacation time?
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

I miss Paxton. I loved his line from Titanic, 'that makes you my new best friend'.

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

Yeah. I guess it kind of does.
I don't even know what an "all star" cast really looks like these days. The youngest people I know in Hollywood outside of Marvel movies would probably be Emily Blunt and Ryan Gosling. For all I knew those people were already Hollywood famous but I just hadn't heard of them because they didn't say dumb woke shit on Twitter yet.

On a $200 Million budget, that's a death sentence, if true.
I always knew this was going to be one of my easier predictions this year from the moment I saw that trailer drop and I posted this thread.

Bruce's write-up today...
Quote:
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.
Shill harder dude.
Even if this thing made $150 Million this weekend worldwide, which it won't, it would still be a massive failure with that $200 Million budget. If they had the $67 Million budget used on A Quiet Place: Day One, we'd be having an entirely different conversation here.
Half a Billion is the breakeven point. Historically, well at least over the 2023 and 2024, if a movie does not make its production budget back on opening weekend, it's chances of breaking even have greatly diminished. 80% to 100% is a coin-flip. Something in the area of $125 Million to open would require a miracle to not lose money. Migration pulled it off last year, but there's not many other examples aside from that.
Quote:
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.)
No. Further outings for the franchise do NOT seem likely at all, Bruce.
Not with those numbers they don't.
This movie is set to lose somewhere in the area of $150 Million to $200 Million for Universal.
