Also let's face it he was likely gonna come back anyways for Secret Wars.
Eugh. Don't remind me. The way Marvel nerds describe it, the whole thing sounds like the most pandering fan service nonsense ever. Are Marvel fans really content with a movie that is nothing but "look, it's that actor you like being that character in that movie you saw as a kid?" Do they not feel manipulated? Do they like being manipulated?

Jackman’s Wolverine felt like a pretty pointed response to the Clooney Batman-era of super stuff, right down to mocking the concept of super suits, so the fact that he has his own Batman & Robin (right down to the naming convention, lol) feels like a full circle moment.
In retrospect it was probably a bad idea to not let Logan be his swan song. Felt like such a perfect conclusion to that whole universe
I like to think I’m above fanboy raging, and obviously Hugh wanted to do this, but I still feel can’t help but find it desperate and sad to see Jackman as Wolverine again. It just reeks of cheap fan service and still to me cheapens Logan’s conclusion. A conclusion that really meant a lot to me, both from a “I’ve seen this actor as this character my whole life” and from a thematic standpoint. I’ve tried my best to argue this and that, but it still feels a little sad to see this pathetic ploy for nostalgia money regardless. Just me and my opinion ofc.

If this gets bad reviews I'll feel the same way that Deadpool felt when Vanessa died or how Bruce felt after his parents died
😭
I greatly envy your life if this is what gets you this emotional.

Who cares what critics say, they care more about other "things" than the quality of the movie they review.

Wait...is it...is it coming out this year? Is it? Please tell me it is! Because a trailer releasing soon should mean it's coming this year, right?

Okay. Like what is the message here. Biden is Casear , Koba is the democratic machine wanting him out. Yeah okay. Probably not the right message right now. Or I am taking this too seriously maybe.
I dunno, I just think Koba memes are funny. Don't read too much into it mate.

NOT THE 2024 US PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION THREAD.
(but good, if inevitable I think, news — if only because the current situation was untenable)
I mean we have talked about real world and political events here. And I see no reason to not do it if people act chill over it, especially major stuff like this.

If Universal and WB ever decided to do a third Twister film, they probably need to set it somewhere like the UK or Australia where tornadoes do happen but not to the same degree as the midwest and rarer.
Hear this...
Twisters...in Paris. If the Rugrats can do it, why can't them?

I just found out Joseph Kosinski is credited as a writer on Twisters.
He was the original director believe it or not, but decided to go for F1 instead.

One the great 90s blockbuster trailers. Showing producers of Jurassic Park and director of Speed just hammers the this is an event home.
That's also a good point too. The Spielberg name probably also helped out its appeal OS a ton. His name sadly doesn't carry the same weight it used to, but I guess having one or two "Steven Spielberg Presents" in the ads for Twisters certainly wouldn't have hurt I suppose.

Mexico and UK numbers are decent. Not so much everywhere else. Not sure what is going on overseas. The original Twister was a hit overseas so it can’t just be the “tornado” aspect. Might have been better actually if it had come out overseas after articles about the domestic breakoutMaybe it was the push for yeehaw cowboy shit and country music in the trailers and ads? Like you look at the trailer for the original Twister, and it's no different from the advertising for something like Independence Day. I can't imagine Luke Combs being that big in non-English territories.

So IO2 won't pass Barbie atp. DM4 did hurt quite a bit. But overall excellent.
If it follows Incredibles 2's run at the same point in time, it gets to 650M. Not impossible to still beat Barbie IMO

Twisters seems destined for around a 55% drop, people will argue over whether that’s good or bad, then it has legs for days from there on out. Longlegs will probably be sub-50, and I guess Inside Out and Despicable Me will still do their thing. Really, anything below the top 4 is what’s really going to suffer imo
