All good explanations about why Twisters did not hit OS. Just glad nobody said because Daisy and Glenn did not do it at the end or something.

makes sense. All Alien films since 3 have made at least 100M overseas. Then again the first Twister made 250m overseas.
That Twister OS performance is going to be one of the mysteries of the year. WB just dropped the ball on how to sell it I guess.

Okay, a few things. Jurassic World is definitely getting dethroned. It’d need to drop off a cliff to miss 650m and it’d need to die to not reach Jurassic Worlds numbers. At best it only changes my prediction from 665 to 660m.
secondly, Alien could very well surprise on Saturday and Sunday because yeah, this seems way too front loaded. like, Marvel type front loading. Which seems unusual. Not even Prometheus and Covenant were this front loaded in their opening weekends
Eh keep hoping for that. The female audience and under 25 audience did not show up. Not a good sign for legs going forward.

September has this horror movie with James McAvoy and the trailers made really great numbers. The trailer #2 even made Better than the first with 20M views in just 3 weeks.
Could be a typical horror surprise on "dead months"
This has been a Argyle like trailer for me. Almost every movie I have seen in the last few months heck even IO 2 I think. Just kidding but that may be the only movie it did not play it front of. Not my type of movie to begin with but it plays to it's audience and is a hit good for theatrical.

With Romulus looking kind of frontloaded and even with good WOM with it's core audience it could have a hefty drop next weekend and neither of next weekends big new movies looking to blow up , next weekend could be the first weekend with no movie doing over 20 million since the last weekend of May. I hope there are no meltdowns or anything around here. As has been pointed out Sept is looking pretty good right now so it may just be a 2 week lull.

kind of a harsher drop than expected but should still get over 600m
Considering it lost all it's remaining PLF's to Romulus not really that harsh a drop and Disney wins either way.

yeah this franchise has a ceiling and is not 4 quadrant appealing (demographics shows mostly men 25+). Prometheus was an outlier. As long as they can make the budgets reasonable they should be able to keep them going, though I am not sure what more you can do now other than "people trapped in a place with Xenos". They should try Alien vs Predator again
Kind of said this a few days ago and got scoffing reactions. As long as they keep the budgets reasonable that's fine though if the core audience goes and is satisfied.

Dreamworks has always been really hit or miss. Hopefully this is a huge hit like Kung Fu Panda and Rise of the Guardians.
Hate to break it to you but Rise was not a big hit. It made 103 DOM on a 145 m budget. It saved a little face overseas doing 203 m though.

Between this and the lack of a romance in Twister Hullabaloo. People are insane.
-
Okay yeah they could have included the kiss. They did not. The end. People acting like this hurt the movie at the BO or something. The movie did well DOM at least. The OS bombing was not because of the cut out romance. People have way to much time on their hands with the stuff they get worked up about.

Marvel, take notes.
It seems like he is maybe taking shots at his former employers whether intentional or not.

Aside those numbers, I read some reviews and know why some people really dig it while others have a great second thoughts (no spoiler).
Fede Alvarez took a very different approach to the horror parts of this movie. It is less like the unseen fear from the first one but more close to B-level body horror such as Society, Braindead, Evil Dead -- torturing those characters and delivering an crazy spectacle in its 3rd act. (if you saw those horror movies I mentioned, you might be aware of what's coming.)
In other words, if you're a body horror fan with desire to see how those characters get killed one by one, this is probably for you. (I think it explains why some say it's Rogue One of this franchise cuz there are very few character developments, except leading character get hero moments.)
If you're an Alien fan with specific expectations based on previous movies, this new movie might fail you. It's a very different horror movie from previous Alien things.
If you know Alien movies and have no special requirements for what's coming, I think you can enjoy this one. And those references could make you feel more happy.
Based on that I do not see this being some leggy big hit. It will not be big with the GA/Casuals. I love the first two movies but do not plan on seeing it because I am not into Full on body horror like this sounds like it is. I have never been able to watch Carpenters The Thing for that reason.

I’m officially at the point where I’m questioning the lack of a trailer.
It seems like a delay is coming or they feel it's presold enough at this point they can wait until Transformers One in Sept to drop the trailer which would still be 3 months to release. There are no movies they can stick it in front of until then. Maybe Beetlejuice on Sept 6.

Exactly.
This isn't even Deadpool and Wolverine where a lot of kids are gonna go regardless of the R-rating. This movie is definitely gonna scare off most people who are under 18.
Yeah was going to say the same thing. It may be R rated like DP and W but I do not think some Parents will take their kids like they did with that. The violence and gore in this is a lot more icky and gross than the cartoonish stuff in that. Also a lot more nightmarish obviously.

A user named u/blownaway4 on Reddit is calling Joker 2 2024's Barbenheimer. Do you agree or disagree?
You and your weird obsessions with randos on reddit

I didn't say it won't be R
I'm asking why hide it in the trailer with all those edits when it's clearly R. Why hold back? In the forest scene, for example
Must be watching a different trailer.There is blood and gore all over the place. I do not how anybody could not figure out it is R rated

My theory is that whatever is going on with Thunderbolts*, it needs Brave New World for context. I think the focus now will be fully on Brave New World, with Thunderbolts*, Fantastic Four and Superman getting Super Bowl reveals.
There will be a trailer for this no later than Dec for Mufassa or whatever. They can cut together a setup/money shot trailer that does not spoil BNW. There is no way they are waiting to Brave New World's release.

Buzz for Beetlejuice has been absolutely off the chain since the announcement in my circles so I gotta admit that I'm expecting at least 100m and am disappointed in sales thus far. Maybe I hang out with too many goth theater kids.
Eh maybe. It's not like it's doing even close to terrible in sales. 75+ is a lock as long as Burton does not shit the bed which is always a strong possibility anymore.

TWoW was basically a reintroduction to the world of Pandora, but now that we got that out of the way, it’s time to up the ante.
It helps there is only a 3 year gap between movies this time and not a 13 year one.

Yep we kind of forget OS audiences did not go crazy for Black Panther.

It's crazy to realize Disney will have 2 R rated movies topping the BO next weekend. What are we in the 80's and early to mid 90's when they released R rated movies through Touchstone and Hollywood Pictures.
