I think the EA is going to eat into previews a good bit but something like this seems reasonable

 

10.7

19.8 (30.5m True Friday)

23.5

19

 

73m weekend - an extremely satisfying result!!

Glen Powell with ANOTHER hit you say? 

[John Marston]

This opening actually makes me more frustrated that Universal didn’t open this over Memorial Day or the 4th of July weekend and not one week before another major action blockbuster

10.7 is definitely official, comes from the studio.

Great! Twisters is hitting the high range of projections this weekend.

[emoviefan]

So great to have a Live action tentpole movie this summer possibly over perform expectations since Apes and BB ROD kind of did what was expected  and the Fall Guy and Furiosa both underperformed expectations.

[AniNate]

If nothing else this will be an experiment in how well a PG-13 tentpole with solid word of mouth holds against an R rated superhero tentpole. If Twisters does have a bad hold next week then that will definitively discourage studios from a similar strategy in the future. But if does end up holding well then Uni will look like geniuses for keeping the date.

Furiosa already took the Memorial Day weekend 

 

Nobody expected it to be such a mega bomb though. 

[Skim Beeble]

Wasn't this looking like it'd have around $5.5-6m previews including EA just less than a week ago? Jesus christ what an explosion.

Also this is Twisters and not some frontloaded superhero sequel.

 

Walkups for Twisters should be huge.

[ChipDerby]

Looking forward to all of the apologies to @Shawn Robbins from people questioning his tracking of $70 mil over the last few weeks 😂

[Grand Cine]

According to Deadline :

 

DM4 : 5M

LongLegs : 2,2M

IO2 : 2,4M

 

Great hold for LongLegs ( only -7% drop). If it plays like Insidious or Talk To Me , it will make 11-11,5M 2nd Weekend . Same drop as last week for the two other , 24,5-25M for DM4, around 13M for IO2.

I don't wanna immediately jump on the "Glen Powell is a butts-in-seats draw" hype train, but this is definitely an encouraging sign for his future as an actor.

 

He certainly didn't keep people away from the movie.

[JohnnyGossamer]

Walk ups will be bonkers. Thinking 80M+ will happen. Maybe higher even.

Eh. This is about the Twisters not the actors here. I do like me some Glen Powell though.

I think +80M is definitely in play here. 
 

If it does 250M DOM, even the disappointing 150-200M OS won’t matter much since they revised the budget to 150M 

 

It’s shaping up to be a solid hit, nice for theaters 

[excel1]

Should have been the summer opener. Great number!

Has there been a male lead that has become a legitimate draw like this since Chris Pratt? It feels like he was the last one, and he emerged a decade ago.

 

It'll be interesting to see what his next moves will be. There's a lot of projects floating around Hollywood that need an A lister to anchor it to be viable.

Also shows started at 2:00 yesterday too since it's pretty much had a full opening day before its actual opening day lol. What can you do.

I thought the show started 5pm? Deadline and variety all said the Thursday preview started from 5pm.

 

Anyway, so twisters is the movie that got flyover states hyped in this summer after sound of freedom and TGM.

[AniNate]

Editnvm i got that backwards

Excellent for Twisters! Deadline has the budget at $155m too, so maybe the rumoured $200m was before tax credits. 
 

 

Excellent for Longlegs. A Quiet Place Day One dipped -12% on Thursday, so a -7% hold is promising.
