A place to talk about movies, TV and videos on Farcaster.

Looks like Twisters is doing well at the box office.

With theater prices being so high and the convenience of streaming, movie goers are being much more selective. However, we can still see big box office successes such as Barbie, Mario and Oppenheimer last year and Dune 2, Inside Out 2 now Twisters and likely Deadpool & Wolverine later this month.

The interesting thing is that last year the big movies were not sequels (although they are based on existing IP) while this year they're all sequels.

That's interesting given the fact that most of the cast or all of them are not box office Window stars. that guarantee a big first day attendance.

Yes it's not like before. But still in the industry this is one of the big factors for most Production companies. 

And also people now are into the story more than the actors. We can see this in most of the commercial movies "pop corn" movies the numbers for first day attendance is lower now for this kind of movies

I don't think big stars have the pull to the movie theater they once had. It's very inconsistent.

Margot Robbie: ⬆️ Barbie ⬇️ Babylon
Ryan Gosling: ⬆️ Barbie ⬇️ Fall Guy
Tom Cruise: ⬆️ Top Gun: Maverick ➡️ MI: Dead Reckoning
Ryan Reynolds: ⬆️ Deadpool ⬇️ IF

Glen Powell is having a moment though. He was in Maverick which was a huge success. Then Hit Man which was very popular on Netflix although it might've not brought people to theaters.
