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.

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.

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

Definitely in terms of marketing recognizable brands (such as the IP, film maker or actor) are easier to sell and therefore less risky, that's why the production companies like them. Yet now production companies are losing money on IP and start driven films. The question is whether they'll come around and realize that these factors no longer make them less risky so they should be open to invest differently like A24, Annapurna Pictures and Neon seem to be doing.

Yes. This happened because of the increasing numbers of online platforms with more original shows on it. Already this old pov is shifting to try emerging faces due to the budget and the ease of use for the platforms. And tbh as a film director this is so much better in many cases more work/ opportunity to the whole industry
