Feels like the low end for this is $50M. I think this is a film where previews won’t matter too much, and it could do some crazy IM

The walkups could be insane for it. Movies that appeal to the middle of the country do a have a history of underindexing.

People don't typically feel compelled to buy tickets early in flyover country. Sellouts are almost unheard of.

really really need to bump this up a week, whaat are they doing 

[cinema pal]

It looks so remake-ish,  puts me off. Ads kinda scream at you that the movie must be seen on the biggest screen possible, but I just don't know

[Human]

The first film is getting sales on home media, but it is nothing compared to how well Beetlejuice is selling.

Seems good.  Nothing to worry about. Earlier than IO 2   by a day and we know how that turned out.

There are EA screenings Wednesday night but obviously nothing to read into there

Honestly I think studios are just not sure how critics are going to respond anymore. And in the case of Universal they had  really early embargo drops for Monkey Man and The Fall Guy because of SXSW screenings and it did not move the needle in a positive way for either one of them. So why bother.

This opens early on the Wednesday here in the UK too.

Will pass 100-150 million domestic easily and likely do really well on streaming.

 

Disaster movies do well there as there easy simple stories.

Not that critics matter for a movie like this. 

Critics simply do no matter when it comes to SFX driven films like this one. People if they go, go for the spectacle regradless of the reviews.

Not seeing any tracking indications of that at all, but who knows maybe they are anticipating an uber strong finish

This feels...very very overoptimistic 

[AMC Theaters Enjoyer]

I don't like the large range for the Twisters prediction. A 30M difference just feels too uncertain.

That said, I don't agree with it. I'm expecting 65M to be on the higher end depending on how sales go in this next month.

Minions and Deadpool will be big, 100 OW and  200 OW. So if Twister make big money too, it will be one of the biggest July Ever!

I think:

-Despicable Me 4 105m OW and 300m total

-Deadpool 180 m OW and 400m total

-Twister 75m OW and 200m total.
