Twisters might just get above 40M this second weekend. Following Guardians of the Galaxy's holds, it goes to 8.7M for Thursday. Same second weekend holds as that movie gets you to 48M. Even knocking things down a bit with Deadpool being way bigger competition compared to TMNT still should lead to 40+. Maybe it could get to 300M after all.

MERC WITH A MOUTH In 2016, to the shock of millions around the world, Ryan Reynolds’ wacky new comedy Deadpool, which brought R-rated raunch and parodic wit to the Marvel Fox-Men universe, became one of the biggest sensations of the year. In a year dominated by superheroes, from wars against superheroes, magic-filled doctors, supervillain teams, and that one piece of shit named X-Men: Apocalypse, Deadpool was a breath of fresh air. A movie that dared to have fun with the material. A movie that was so irreverent and self-aware that it satirized and mocked the films in its own franchise. A movie that felt like a true palate cleanser from the constant barrage of superhero adventures. Like Scream back in the 90s, it was both a love letter and a modernized satire of an entire genre. And you can argue, like Scream, it helped make other producers more self-aware of their material and reinvigorate the genre’s popularity. Of course, this time, it just made the biggest genre ever...even bigger. With a hit sequel in 2018, Ryan Reynolds was conspicuously absent from the superhero limelight. Not his fault of course, but wacky shenanigans regarding studio changes, multiverse craziness, and capitalism being terrible meant the fabled Deadpool 3 took forever and a half to actually come out. However, six years later, we finally had the prayers of millions of Marvel nerds answered as Deadpool is now officially in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Oh, and Hugh Jackman's back as Wolverine for the last time...again. With multiverse craziness, wacky comedy, tons of rumored cameos, and plenty of kino post-credits scenes, Marvel fans are more hyped than ever on this hilarious thrill ride. Especially at a time when the Marvel Cinematic Universe is going through severe growing pains and cultural disinterest. Can this turn things around and deliver an opening for the ages? Or are we getting numbers as unfuckable as Wade Wilson's face? Regardless of what happens, we all just need to remember to relax and have fun and enjoy the thrills of Marvel weekend threads. Though of course, we have some ironclad rules to follow... 1. ABSOLUTELY NO SPOILERS. THIS INCLUDES SPOILERS UNDER A SPOILER TAG. This also applies to every other movie currently in theaters and every new movie/show recently released on streaming. So no Twisters spoilers, no Despicable Me 4 spoilers, no Beverly Hills Cop 4 spoilers, etc. 2. GOOD VIBES! Big weekends like these are supposed to be fun. So don’t be a party pooper and ruin things for everybody. You don't have to insult people for not liking Marvel movies, you don't have to say theaters are dead without Marvel, you don't have to say Marvel movies are the death of cinema. This forum's all about silly fun, so don't make it something it's not. 3. THE REPORT AND IGNORE BUTTONS ARE YOUR FRIENDS. And lastly... 4. DON'T BE A DICK We good? We good. Now... WITHOUT FURTHER ADO LET'S DO THIS SHIT

This is the biggest problem with there being like 8 Marvel movies and shows a year. Like my mind has me thinking Shang-Chi came out like 8 years ago, because of all the media in between. But like…it’s only three. And he hasn’t even showed up in anything since then, so it makes the gap feel more noticeable than it actually is.
