Will this end up bombing?


It had a strong opening week but now it's getting clobbered by Wolverine Deadpool, as is every other movie. Right now it's at $175 million but I'm not sure if it'll make over $350 million at this point. All of the fans are gonna go towards the new comic book movie. I reckon it'll settle at $335 million.

I think Twisters will have legs. It’s has probably secured a hefty digital release agreement as well based on the opening.
This will break even and end up with a small profit.

Rumors has it that Horizon was sold for Pennie’s on the dollar to streaming.

Unfortunately, yes... Twisters despite a decent opening is going to end up being a bomb.

The original grossed 500 million worldwide on a 90 million (production) budget.

I doubt this one will make it much past 300-350 million WW on a 200 million (production) budget... it probably needed around 400 just to breakeven-ish... huge gamble... they spent way too much.

Yeah, the way I'm seeing it, it'll still be a hit for the studios involved. I think Twisters will limp to around $335 million and then some streaming service will purchase it and the film ultimately wont be a failure, but it'll be a disappointment nonetheless. They released it at a bad time, they should've tried the month prior. Also, yes they certainly spent way too much money on the movie. It didn't feel like a $200 million movie to me, more like $100-120 million.

Apparently it has to earn $500 mln to break even.

Yikes. Anything is possible but I don't see that happening. I'm guessing it'll settle around $335 million.

reply

Nah, more like $390 million

It'll earn a ton on physical media and streaming. I think it'll still play well in theaters through the rest of the summer.

They blew the final act. WOKE!

What part about the final act was anymore woke than the rest of the movie??? And how does that answer my question???

The woman saved the day and the man cried like a lady and the Jew refused to let them kiss.

Confirmed mega bomb with a digital release date of the 13th next week. Completely belly flopped over seas where nobody cares about the US or tornadoes.
