Loved the data on Twisters. I think it’s clear that a lot of Americans had nostalgia for the original (it was one of the first movies my parents ever took me to). The focus on somewhat-unique-to-America weather disasters probably didn’t help internationally
I dunno. The original Twister made a lot of money internationally. I'm in the UK and I really enjoyed Twisters as did others I know who have seen it. Just one of those weird boxoffice quirks I guess - families were still flocking to Inside Out 2 and everyone else was just waiting for Marvel Jesus and friend to arrive maybe. 🤔
Like Dan said with the culture and aesthetic of the film, It comes off as a modern western to a lot of foreign moviegoers, whether it should or not, and westerns just don’t make money in foreign markets
Also keep in mind WB handled international distribution instead of Universal. It’s not only a reverse of the original movie but also basically The Towering Inferno with Universal instead of 20th Century Fox.
For some fans, yeah. But for the industry, definitely not. The producers/actors/directors/etc doesn't really care about inflation adjusted numbers. Their bonus/back-end deals/points DO NOT accounted for inflation.
@@udaygorade8697 When gauging the popularity of a movie and sheer amount of tickets sold, inflation adjusted numbers matter. It depends what data you personally care about.

Insane to me that Universal is putting out DM4 and Twisters on VOD this week and next despite both doing extraordinarily well domestically. I could see both easily playing all of August. Just a baffling display from Universal to commit to burning financial possibilities despite all signs pointing to money still to be made.
I think Universal got spooked by the drop Twisters had in its second weekend (because it had to go up against D&W) because they’re not even giving it the full 31-day window they usually give to films that open to $50+ million.
@@MysteryMii this tactic goes deeper than that. Last year they put Mario on VOD a month after release despite historic legs and grosses. They weren’t spooked of Twisters drop. They just simply don’t care unless a filmmaker like Nolan has it contractually obligated to keep it off VOD. The only studios that seem to be committing to longer plays is Disney/Marvel/Fox and Sony with some exceptions in their releases.
@@K_Rob I mean yeah, but Universal isn’t even sticking to its own rules in this case. With Mario they actually pushed the PVOD release back a week because of how well it was doing, but here they’re not even giving Twisters the full month before PVOD like they would have usually done with a $50 million+ opener (last time they did this was with Fast X because of how underwhelming it’s domestic run was).
Dan the movie Boderlands is based on a video game. However, for box office tracking doesn't look good for Boderlands. But next week I'm gonna see cuckoo, and tomorrow I'm going to see Deadpool and Wolverine again in Dolby Cinema on AMC.
I have some questions regarding Twisters worldwide box office: Since Universal distributed it domestically while Warner Bros distributed it internationally, how do they handle the box office/budget split? How much financial burden is on each studio and how much do they get back? Is it possible that the movie is a smash hit for Universal since it's successful here but a disappointment for WB since it underperformed overseas?
I already seen it on Dolby Cinema last month and it was unbelievable and they announced both twister movies are returning back on regal edwards for the 4DX screening on the end of August.
I think the real question is, why was Twisters budget 155 million dollars? That seems insane for a movie like that.. I mean don't get me wrong, a lot of special effects but jeez, you're talking major Disney movie with a ton of stars type of money there
Well, it's true that Disney movies' budgets are now usually at 250M+, but a 155M budget for Twisters is still too much. It was not smartly budgeted; it should have cost around 100M, not more
I went to see Twisters here in the UK this past Thursday and have been recommending it to people. I'm perhaps a little biased because I enjoy visiting Arkansas and Oklahoma and I liked seeing it on film, but my mum who has never been to the US also enjoyed it.
Borderlands 2 is out soon, I think it will bomb. I cannot see any reason anyone would want to go. The fans of the game are up in arms about how much was changed, non-fans of the game have never heard of it, and now Deadpool. Both films are action comedies about guns, gore and pop culture jokes set in a mad-max style world. If you've seen Deadpool, why would you want Borderlands?
Love the Deadpool and Wolverine International Poster. Went and saw the film for a second time at the weekend. Narratively not the greatest MCU but boy it is so much fun. 😁
Funny story here... when the Blair Witch came out, I was in the military on a field assignments but away from the media for 4 months. So when I got back, my unit and I just heard everyone talking about Blair Witch and the Matrix it's all we heard from everyone! So without knowing anything about TBW, we went to see that first ... and all of us, I mean I group of at least 20 people thought it was the worst thing we had ever seen and could not understand why people were into it.... THEN, days after we saw the marketing for the film and realized they ran with a GIANT lie that it was supposed to be some type of complication of found footage 🤣 But that situation always make me laugh when I think about the power of marketing vs us who thought someone purposely made that movie like that 😂 So going into The Matrix, we were all SKEPTICAL AF because of how much of a letdown TBW was, but my God from the opening shot of the Matrix when the camera froze Trinity in the air and spun around the room. ALL our mouths were on the floor the entire movie 🤣 Ah man, I haven't thought about that in years, thanks for the memory lol
Yeah, I wondered about that, too. Probably D&W is going to pass it relatively soon even adjusted, but Passion adjusted is around 640 million. So… a few more weeks at least?
I stopped going to Fathom Events when it became apparent that it's basically the equivalent to projecting a blu-ray onto the screen. I can do that at home. Hardly the experience you're looking for when you want the experience of an older movie back on the big screen.
Actually, it’s not always that. They do use actual DCPs in some cases (mostly with the Ghibli Fest showings because Ghibli policy requires theatrical screenings of their releases to be on a DCP or film). Most theaters usually have a dedicated auditorium for Fathom Events that aren’t on DCPs, so if a Fathom Event isn’t in that auditorium, chances are that it’s on a DCP and not a glorified Dish DVR recording (no joke that’s literally what Fathom uses for non-DCP showings).
@MysteryMii I went to a few, even ones that were supposedly DCP, and the quality still wasn't great (at my theater, at least),hence my comparison to a blu-ray projection.
Went to a late night showing of twisters this weekend and it was pretty much sold out with only 5 seats open at the 8pm and 9pm showings. It will be interesting to see how it plays out in the coming weeks.
The original twister film did really good money on the international market back in 96. But this new film it's in an extremely crowded market with the Olympics in tv.
Really sad that Twisters might really lose 80+ million when it did decently here. Do tornados not exist anywhere but here? I never even bothered looking that up in all my years of life I just assumed they did LOL.
They do exist in Europe, but they are less than 500 a year, and in Africa, they are less than 10 a year vs. roughly 1200 in the U.S. (I just looked up this info cause I was curious, I didn't look up tornadoes in Asian countries for some reason)
33:58 Wait a Minute ! …. The Warcraft Movie from 2016 or so ? Got more hours than the new King Kong 😂😂😂 they should have done the arthas story ! Maybe it’s time for a sequel ? And what about a dark R-Rated DIablo movie … ooooh That would be sooo Good !
Inside Out making the top 10 of all time is insane. Never could have anticipated that. Now I’m afraid the franchise will be spoiled with more sequels and spin offs.
30:32 … Yea than Hollywood should bring out more originals again ! Not a single Franchise Sequel in that week ! This is how you get people to the theaters !give them a variation !
International audience member who skipped "Twisters" theatrically here, let me give you my reasoning why: It looks exactly the same as 1996's "Twister". And honestly, I don't get the feeling that Hollywood's tornado simulation techniques in terms of VFX have really gotten better over the last 28 years. I've seen the old movie. It still looks good. How many tornado variations do you need?
Ok, once again my tiny sample size matches up with you Thursday night demographic, sort of. Around the time of the spike for The Judge, my boss and his wife started watching it, and telling us all that it is a good series to start. Now three of us in the office at are different point in the series as well as his sisters lol
Interesting regards Twisters. I saw it here in the UK for the 2nd time last week, the only film I’ve seen more than once this year. The original Twister was pretty much even Steven’s in its box office international / US so as you say, interesting that this time it doesn’t appear to have clicked internationally. Personally I really enjoyed it.
It’s a shame twisters hasn’t done that well internationally, saw it twice both in very busy screenings here in the uk and everyone seemed to really enjoy it
Great video as always Dan! Quick shout-out to a film that's supposed to release theatrically in the US on August 23 - 200% Wolf. It's a sequel to a film called 100% Wolf that released in 2020, and attached to a kids/preteen animated series. Both the film and tv series are from Australia. I have a feeling it will get an almost nothing theatrical release in the US - I'm seeing almost zero info on it so far, just from the production studios' Instagram. It is a bit juvenile, but it's a cute concept with fun spooky atmosphere (maybe it'll play better on PVOD around Halloween?). Just wanted to mention it because it's a foreign-produced family animation and those films have really struggled post-pandemic.
Dan, I track a lot of Marvel Box Office myself. A fascinating race is Black Panther v. Deadpool & Wolverine. The leader flip flops like every third day so far. Just could be a fun one to track.
17:51 is this really the level of advertising movies still get? 2/3 of the movies production budget? because maybe I'm just not paying attention, but I don't see a lot of print advertising now, and I can't believe youtube ads before someone watering hydrangeas costs this much
Thank you for the charts Dan! I remember that summer of 1999 very well. Yes, The Haunting was terrible. Looking forward to your upcoming reviews. Especially Cuckoo.
Your discussion on Twisters' domestic vs international gross made me think that a nice addition to the Worldwide Chart would be a percentage breakdown between Domestic and Global sales. For a movie that was made in an overseas market (China/India etc.) the 'domestic' percentage could be for the country of origin. Would be cool to understand the global reach of different movies produced in different parts of the world.
What is your criteria for including/not including Fathom Events? Ponyo had an estimate of almost 200,000 more than your featured No. 10 Not challenging, just looking for insight
Theory on why Twisters didn't do well internationally but did domestically - the U.S. has way more tornados than any other country (1200 per year). Canada is #2 at 100 per year. The rest of the world has 200-300 per year. It's just not a danger that other countries worry or care about.
I wouldn’t want to give you more work but a cool chart I think you can add is the “Top Franchise” tracker gross and adjusted. I’d like to know what’s made more money MCU, Star Wars, Fast and Furious, ect.
Alien making the summer top 10 actually doesn’t help you, as it would mean Garfield dropgping out, and although it’s close I don’t think Garfield has a chance of passing Fall Guy in the last second. Unless it was paired at drive-ins with Despicable Me? Not sure how that works.
I've lived in Europe for the last 15 years or so. I have fond memories of Twister from when I was a kid but I have to be honest I was at best luke warm on seeing Twisters. Then I saw one of my friends back in the states who has pretty good taste in movies had seen it twice. Figured maybe it was worth checking out. I asked my friend here if he was interested in going and he had just zero interest in Twisters. He hadn't seen the original and everything he knew about it was the worst or most silly aspects, it's clear the impression he had of it was not good. Numbers seem to suggest he's not alone over here.
And here we are in week 2 of Deadpool and Wolverine, and look at that a couple of really good movies and the box office is roaring back. With several potential big hitters still on the way, so I'll say once again that the main cause for the first half's struggles was alot of movies getting pushed out of 2024 because of the strikes. If the CEO's had acted like grown adults last year and paid their people what they deserved the first half of the year would've looked alot better. Hopefully they've learned their lesson now because alot of the summer movies could've been pushed out of the year if things did'nt end when they did. 2025 has the potential to be a good year for movies it is stacked with big contenders even January has a Dreamworks movie parked at the end of it that I really want to see.
Looking at the Road to Recovery chart this week, do you think this year is starting to look like a more traditional, pre-MCU year? I was noticing how little the box office spikes in the summer for 2015-2019 relative to spring and winter, and wondering how much the pattern the spread of box office receipts over the year was different further back in time. Do you think you can do a segment in a future episode comparing a road to recovery style chart across many different years?
Thank you for the show as always! Dan it would be interesting to track Inside Out domestic against Jurassic World as its a tight race to see if itll land top 10 domestic with a chart. You can also track it against Barbie but honestly by next weeks show i think itll have passed Barbir already or be close to it so itll be less interesting beyond just analyzing the strength of the release window. That and a Lion King vs Inside Out global track chart as it comes up against its final potential two milestones both domestic and global.
@9:53 What is the reasoning behind the order of those 5 movies all at 8 weeks. The chart shows Beekeeper and Bad Boys tied ahead of Godzilla ahead of Apes and Fall Guy which are tied
I'm not surprised Twisters is weak internationally. Most of the world is less affected by tornados, they are fairly rare. The American focus possibly didn't help, but there are plenty of examples of movies like that still working.
Didn't you already do this week of the boxoffice flashback last year? Or a week very close to it. I remember Inspector gadget at number 5 and you talking about The Blair Witch project. But this story about you going to the Haunting is new to me.
Runaway Bride, Deep Blue Sea, The Haunting, Inspector Gadget - man, what a parade of mediocrity. I know that 1999 seems to have been anointed as the Best Movie Year Ever, but the Box Office History selection this week shows that 1999 still had it's fair share of disposable blah just like any other year.
I forgot that Blair Witch actually came out in the summer. I watched it as part of a test audience in the fall of 1998 in college right around Halloween! With basically NO set up, No Internet buzz, No advertising, No intro, No previews, No info what so ever, and being one of the first "found footage" movies EVER, it scared the living SHIT out of us. We basically left the theater thinking that was an actual documentary and had to sign NDAs. Talk about a movie experience that hits different.
Went more the indy route. Caught the 2024 vers of 'A Place Called Silence'. A bit over written and dragged at the end, but still a good film. Was definitely not what I was expecting. Then Trap which thanks to bad reviews allowed me to lower my expectations. I enjoyed it more than expected. It did feel like a real 'Parent Trap'. Also caught Kneecap, easily the best of the three. It had some fantastic scenes and great cinematography.
Im seeing Bad Boys Ride or Die in 10th at $650k on the Numbers and Ponyo with $800k for 10th with BB:RoD with only $601k on Box Office Mojo. Which other sites do you gather your data from?

Would really like to see the adjusted for inflation number for rated R. Wonder if Deadpool will pass Passion for that.
10:07 ‘Nice!’ lol 🍀
33:58 Wait a Minute ! …. The Warcraft Movie from 2016 or so ? Got more hours than the new King Kong 😂😂😂 they should have done the arthas story ! Maybe it’s time for a sequel ? And what about a dark R-Rated DIablo movie … ooooh That would be sooo Good !
It bombed hard domestically but did pretty well internationally. But not well enough for a sequel.
The Thai Deadpool & Wolverine poster @11:44 is an all-time great local movie poster.
This is PEAK Pitch, Thanks Ryan.
Inside Out making the top 10 of all time is insane. Never could have anticipated that. Now I’m afraid the franchise will be spoiled with more sequels and spin offs.
30:32 … Yea than Hollywood should bring out more originals again ! Not a single Franchise Sequel in that week ! This is how you get people to the theaters !give them a variation !
Really expected D&W to drop like 70+ percent I'm shocked by that hold.
I was going to finally watch Trigger Warning tonight, but it'll have to be Irish Wish instead. I need to hear Dan say it one more time.
International audience member who skipped "Twisters" theatrically here, let me give you my reasoning why: It looks exactly the same as 1996's "Twister". And honestly, I don't get the feeling that Hollywood's tornado simulation techniques in terms of VFX have really gotten better over the last 28 years. I've seen the old movie. It still looks good. How many tornado variations do you need?
Ok, once again my tiny sample size matches up with you Thursday night demographic, sort of. Around the time of the spike for The Judge, my boss and his wife started watching it, and telling us all that it is a good series to start. Now three of us in the office at are different point in the series as well as his sisters lol
Deadpool: suck it Mel gybson I’m going to the top 10 (smashes camera) GETS F*CKED
Interesting regards Twisters. I saw it here in the UK for the 2nd time last week, the only film I’ve seen more than once this year. The original Twister was pretty much even Steven’s in its box office international / US so as you say, interesting that this time it doesn’t appear to have clicked internationally. Personally I really enjoyed it.
It’s a shame twisters hasn’t done that well internationally, saw it twice both in very busy screenings here in the uk and everyone seemed to really enjoy it
Waiting for the inevitable announcement of "Twisters World" about globe-trotting storm chasers...
Twisters x Fast & Furious crossover?
Or have tornadoes show up in California and intersects with a wildfire
16:57 Thought you said "Creamy video on demand" and I thought I had missed the memo about some new marketing gimmick.
Great video as always Dan! Quick shout-out to a film that's supposed to release theatrically in the US on August 23 - 200% Wolf. It's a sequel to a film called 100% Wolf that released in 2020, and attached to a kids/preteen animated series. Both the film and tv series are from Australia. I have a feeling it will get an almost nothing theatrical release in the US - I'm seeing almost zero info on it so far, just from the production studios' Instagram. It is a bit juvenile, but it's a cute concept with fun spooky atmosphere (maybe it'll play better on PVOD around Halloween?). Just wanted to mention it because it's a foreign-produced family animation and those films have really struggled post-pandemic.
Dan, I track a lot of Marvel Box Office myself. A fascinating race is Black Panther v. Deadpool & Wolverine. The leader flip flops like every third day so far. Just could be a fun one to track.
“…420 theaters , nice.” 😂😂
Deadpool & Wolverine will cross a Billion this week! Twisters is holding strong & Trap had a solid debut!
17:51 is this really the level of advertising movies still get? 2/3 of the movies production budget? because maybe I'm just not paying attention, but I don't see a lot of print advertising now, and I can't believe youtube ads before someone watering hydrangeas costs this much
TV spots on primetime / live events, billboards, gimmicky one-time events and the such are probably what drives up the cost.
Thank you for the charts Dan! I remember that summer of 1999 very well. Yes, The Haunting was terrible. Looking forward to your upcoming reviews. Especially Cuckoo.
4:50 "Deadpol" returns.
Your discussion on Twisters' domestic vs international gross made me think that a nice addition to the Worldwide Chart would be a percentage breakdown between Domestic and Global sales. For a movie that was made in an overseas market (China/India etc.) the 'domestic' percentage could be for the country of origin.
Would be cool to understand the global reach of different movies produced in different parts of the world.
First Marvel movie I saw twice. Haven't done that in years! Even my wife enjoyed it, and she RARELY likes superhero movies.
I’ve been waiting to see Lawrence of Arabia on the big screen! Thank you for the heads up Dan!!
I love these chart discussions thanks Dan
Thanks Dan.
Deadpool and Wolverine is breaking literally every R rated record movie.
I would argue that The Beekeeper is part of the Jason Statham IP.
Still seeing a lot of young faces in trenchcoats at D&W.
Nice told by Twisters after the Deadpool debut. Looks like it'll have legs.
What is your criteria for including/not including Fathom Events? Ponyo had an estimate of almost 200,000 more than your featured No. 10
Not challenging, just looking for insight
u should add a chart with cumulative numbers to understand the road of discovery better ❤
I think Inside Out 2 will hang on to first place, family films generally have much better legs. But Im excited to see it play out either way!
I really think you should move "Charts" back to Tuesday.
Even though the Acolyte didn't break the top 10, didn't Disney say it was their most successful series in 2024?
Both can be true; the service might just have had an exceptionally weak year.
@pitui1987 good point.
10:09 “nice” 😏😏😏
Maybe you can also name the movie replaced after actuals come in. Well put.
Great job as always!
Theory on why Twisters didn't do well internationally but did domestically - the U.S. has way more tornados than any other country (1200 per year). Canada is #2 at 100 per year. The rest of the world has 200-300 per year. It's just not a danger that other countries worry or care about.
I wouldn’t want to give you more work but a cool chart I think you can add is the “Top Franchise” tracker gross and adjusted.
I’d like to know what’s made more money MCU, Star Wars, Fast and Furious, ect.
Alien making the summer top 10 actually doesn’t help you, as it would mean Garfield dropgping out, and although it’s close I don’t think Garfield has a chance of passing Fall Guy in the last second. Unless it was paired at drive-ins with Despicable Me? Not sure how that works.
I guess we're never going too see twist3rs:(
It'll probably happen, just with a smaller budget and doubling down in the US thematic presence.
I've lived in Europe for the last 15 years or so. I have fond memories of Twister from when I was a kid but I have to be honest I was at best luke warm on seeing Twisters. Then I saw one of my friends back in the states who has pretty good taste in movies had seen it twice. Figured maybe it was worth checking out. I asked my friend here if he was interested in going and he had just zero interest in Twisters. He hadn't seen the original and everything he knew about it was the worst or most silly aspects, it's clear the impression he had of it was not good. Numbers seem to suggest he's not alone over here.
10:08 hell yeah
It’s Logan on Tren so not surprised.
Hey dan next week could you do a top 10 highest grossing R rated film adjusted for inflation for next weeks show?
I’m not sure about the $100m marketing budget for Twisters. What is that based on?
Hi Dan can you do a video on domestic and worldwide collection of all the franchises with and without inflation counted🔥🔥🔥
And here we are in week 2 of Deadpool and Wolverine, and look at that a couple of really good movies and the box office is roaring back. With several potential big hitters still on the way, so I'll say once again that the main cause for the first half's struggles was alot of movies getting pushed out of 2024 because of the strikes. If the CEO's had acted like grown adults last year and paid their people what they deserved the first half of the year would've looked alot better. Hopefully they've learned their lesson now because alot of the summer movies could've been pushed out of the year if things did'nt end when they did. 2025 has the potential to be a good year for movies it is stacked with big contenders even January has a Dreamworks movie parked at the end of it that I really want to see.
Looking at the Road to Recovery chart this week, do you think this year is starting to look like a more traditional, pre-MCU year? I was noticing how little the box office spikes in the summer for 2015-2019 relative to spring and winter, and wondering how much the pattern the spread of box office receipts over the year was different further back in time. Do you think you can do a segment in a future episode comparing a road to recovery style chart across many different years?
Thank you for the show as always!
Dan it would be interesting to track Inside Out domestic against Jurassic World as its a tight race to see if itll land top 10 domestic with a chart. You can also track it against Barbie but honestly by next weeks show i think itll have passed Barbir already or be close to it so itll be less interesting beyond just analyzing the strength of the release window.
That and a Lion King vs Inside Out global track chart as it comes up against its final potential two milestones both domestic and global.
10:10 Oh, I get it. Because you'd have to be high to believe that the Moon Landing was a hoax.
that international poster of Deadpool & Wolverine - are they doing muay Thai boxing? it looks really snazzy.
Great breakdown! Twisters has country music as one of its core draws? No wonder I have no desire to see it. Twister had Eric Clapton and Van Halen.
Isn't it always going to be less, considering Theaters now have watch all you want subscriptions?
@9:53
What is the reasoning behind the order of those 5 movies all at 8 weeks. The chart shows Beekeeper and Bad Boys tied ahead of Godzilla ahead of Apes and Fall Guy which are tied
I'm not surprised Twisters is weak internationally. Most of the world is less affected by tornados, they are fairly rare. The American focus possibly didn't help, but there are plenty of examples of movies like that still working.
Didn't you already do this week of the boxoffice flashback last year? Or a week very close to it. I remember Inspector gadget at number 5 and you talking about The Blair Witch project. But this story about you going to the Haunting is new to me.
Would a chart of "Number of days to get $1 Billion" be interesting? Has that already been done?
For a single movie I mean, not since the beginning of the year.
Runaway Bride, Deep Blue Sea, The Haunting, Inspector Gadget - man, what a parade of mediocrity. I know that 1999 seems to have been anointed as the Best Movie Year Ever, but the Box Office History selection this week shows that 1999 still had it's fair share of disposable blah just like any other year.
I forgot that Blair Witch actually came out in the summer. I watched it as part of a test audience in the fall of 1998 in college right around Halloween! With basically NO set up, No Internet buzz, No advertising, No intro, No previews, No info what so ever, and being one of the first "found footage" movies EVER, it scared the living SHIT out of us. We basically left the theater thinking that was an actual documentary and had to sign NDAs. Talk about a movie experience that hits different.
Remember when 9 of the top 10 worldwide grosses were all over a billion? Will there ever be another year like 2019?
Went more the indy route. Caught the 2024 vers of 'A Place Called Silence'. A bit over written and dragged at the end, but still a good film. Was definitely not what I was expecting. Then Trap which thanks to bad reviews allowed me to lower my expectations. I enjoyed it more than expected. It did feel like a real 'Parent Trap'. Also caught Kneecap, easily the best of the three. It had some fantastic scenes and great cinematography.
Im seeing Bad Boys Ride or Die in 10th at $650k on the Numbers and Ponyo with $800k for 10th with BB:RoD with only $601k on Box Office Mojo. Which other sites do you gather your data from?
No inflation-adjusted for the highest grossing R-Rated films all-time, domestically?
