Are you excited to catch a new movie this weekend? Well guess what, folks! The big screen is ready to be stormed by ‘Twisters', a movie that plans to pick up from where the legendary 1996 film left off. Chock-full of new faces and spectacular VFX, Universal Pictures are pinning their franchise hopes on this one.
The upcoming release of ‘Twisters' has created an air of uncertainty about its box-office performance, and trust me, it's all anyone can talk about! The movie stars Daisy Edgar-Jones and the charming Glen Powell. Now, Glen is quite a hit in Hollywood but his blockbuster standing is yet to be proven. And this has left the analysts scratching their heads about the film's opening numbers.
The predictions are all over the place. While some pessimists say it's not likely to open above $40 million, the folks over at BoxOfficePro are a bit more optimistic, expecting it to rake in somewhere between $60 and $75 million! That's quite a spread, right?
Now, Glen Powell – here's a guy we need to talk about. Hollywood seems to be warming up to the idea of him becoming the next big superstar. And why not, he's got the charm and the popularity, right? His biggest success was Top Gun: Maverick, although we all know that was a Tom Cruise show all the way.
But here's the thing about Hollywood stars – their fame isn't guaranteed. We've seen several potential stars fail to shine in the past. Remember when Josh Lucas was the talk of the town post Sweet Home Alabama? It looked like he was going to be a big name, and then what happened? Same with Jai Courtney and Armie Hammer. In the end, it's us, the audience, who decide who becomes a star.
Still, it looks like ‘Twisters' might just whip up a handsome sum at the box office. Let me tell you, one of our mates, E.J. Tangonan was turned away from a sold-out preview screening – that's gotta be good news, right?
Looking at all this, my prediction is that ‘Twisters' will make around $50 million, and could possibly get a boost once Deadpool & Wolverine takes over next weekend. So, gear yourself up for some tornado action!
In the meantime, Despicable Me 4 is pretty much the strong contender for the second spot, and it looks like it's on track to make a cool $25 million. It's the battle for the third spot that's gonna be nail-biting though! Will last weekend's horror sensation, Longlegs, keep its stronghold, or will Inside Out 2 inch past it? Let's see what movie magic awaits.
My Box Office Predictions:
– Twisters: $50 million.
– Despicable Me 4: $25 million.
– Inside Out 2: $12 million.
– Longlegs: $10 million.
– A Quiet Place: Day One: $7 million.
As weekend nears, prepare yourself for the thrill of Twisters. So grab your popcorn, get comfortable in your seat, and let's see if Hollywood's new franchise hope can ride the tornado to box office success!
