    Weekend Numbers | Actuals | 81.3M TWISTERS | 24.4M DESPICABLE ME IV | 12.8M INSIDE OUT II | 12.0M LONGLEGS

    I mean even if it was ready for Memorial Day, which I doubt it was, there would still be a conflict of interest because Twisters and Furiosa are both WB movies overseas. And while I know Furiosa didn't do anything, I'm sure Warner had higher expectations, and it's not like these studios have an obvious crystal ball that can predict everything that will happen. In the end, while we're probably not gonna get a sequel, Twisters is likely going to be a strong performer domestically to make up for OS shortcomings, locked to be in the top 10 for the summer, will probably be a big hit on PVOD in a month. I don't think Uni/Warner's kicking themselves because they didn't have it open on a holiday...well, okay Uni's not kicking themselves, but the Zas sucks, so that's an even nicer win lol

    Between this and the recent Ghostbusters movies being nonstarters overseas, I'd say its more a limit on 80s/90s IP that have been inactive for decades. I would expect Beetlejuice Beetlejuice to be very domestic heavy as well.

    I mean I guess? But Twister was a big hit OS back in the day. At 254M, it was only behind Independence Day and Mission: Impossible for movies that year. And like obviously Bill Paxton and Helen Hunt are great, they weren't Tom Cruise or Mel Gibson-level movie stars that sold the film on their presence.

     

    Just seems weird to me that tornadoes would be totally cool and exciting outside of America back in 1996, but then only appeal to Americans in 2024. Maybe the country music is to blame here? Or maybe WB just didn't know what they were doing?

    Like how many would be excited for Topher Grace in Venom in Spiderman NWH or general MCU Spiderman.

     

    But Tom Hardy Venom interacting with either of the three Spidermen. Now that's gonna sell.

     

    Interactions..... All Audience wants is Interactions between their loved characters played by their loved actors.

    Honey, people could just write fanfiction if they really wanted this.

    Right out of Mission Impossible’s playbook last year. Which just begs the question, why didn’t they just open it last weekend?

    Despicable Me. That's why.

     

    Universal's not gonna hurt one of their own movies, especially a potential billion-dollar hit. If they put the movie out last week, then DM4 loses all its PLFs to Twisters and gets hit with a potentially bad second weekend drop. By having it on DM4's third weekend, DM4 gets a little more IMAX/Dolby play, resulting in the great second weekend hold it just had, and then will hold well yet again this week thanks to double features with Twisters, and therefore more cash money. From what I can gather, almost every market that got the movie last week got DM4 earlier than its domestic debut.

     

    Twisters' release date still isn't perfect, but last week isn't as ideal as it seems, at least for Uni's bigger picture.
