‘Cross,’ ‘Bad Sisters,’ and ‘In Cold Water’ bring a wave of crime titles to streaming this week.

How are we feeling, America? One thing voters can be thankful for after the final results of the 2024 U.S. presidential election is that there will be no further political ads on top TV channels or streaming services, and that’s a gain that all audiences can agree on regardless of affiliation.

The onset of a new week also means a new set of TV and streaming premieres. Some networks were holding back big premieres to avoid competing with election coverage, and I’ve compiled my usual list of the best titles to stream this week below!

My Old Ass – Prime Video – Nov. 7

A heartfelt coming of age story starring Maisy Stella, Aubrey Plaza, Percy Hynes White, Maddie Ziegler, Kerrice Brooks and Maria Dizzia which arrived in theaters first, is now heading to Prime Video Nov.

Exclusive: After landing his first Emmy and Golden Globe nominations for his work in the fourth and final season of HBO’s Succession, Alan Ruck has joined the all-star cast that has assembled to support Marc Maron in In Memoriam, the forthcoming comedy from Thelma producer Invention Studios.

His role is being kept under wraps, as has been the case with all supporting castings thus far.

Written and directed by Rob Burnett (The Fundamentals of Caring), this is the story of a veteran Hollywood actor (Maron) who becomes obsessed with securing a spot in the Academy Awards’ “In Memoriam” montage after receiving a terminal cancer diagnosis. This leads to a heartfelt exploration of ego, humility, and legacy.

Also part of the stacked cast, as previously announced, are Talia Ryder, Lily Gladstone, Sharon Stone, Judy Greer, Justin Long and Michael McKean. Invention Studios’ Nicholas Weinstock and Divya D’Souza are producing alongside Maron,...

Peacock added 3 million subscribers this summer (July 1 to September 30), when it was the streaming home to the Paris Olympics. Simultaneously, the service lost $436 million in the quarter. Peacock now has 36 million subs.

The NBCUniversal-owned streaming service had lost 1 million subs in the spring quarter; NBCU is owned by Comcast, which reported third quarter earnings on Thursday morning. Overall, the company topped media analysts’ expectations.

Wall Street forecast Comcast would report earnings per share of $1.06 on revenue of $31.64 billion; Comcast reported Eps of $1.12 on $32.07 billion in revenue.

As we previously reported, Antenna, a research company that charts the subscription economy, observed 2.8 million Peacock signups over the first week (July 25-31) of the 2024 Paris Olympics. The key thing here for Peacock is that the newcomers stuck around. The new subscribers were also driven by an NFL game in Brazil that was exclusive to Peacock.

It’s no secret that the Covid-19 pandemic upended the movie theater business in 2020, but in the years since, the industry has slowly climbed back. In 2021, 14 movies were able to cross the coveted $100 million mark at the U.S. box office. In 2022, that number jumped up to 18 films. And in 2023, there were a whopping 25 such blockbusters. So how many features released during the current 2024 calendar year will end up becoming box office behemoths? Stay tuned.

To date, the biggest money-makers of the year are a trio of highly anticipated sequels: “Inside Out 2,” “Deadpool & Wolverine” and “Despicable Me 4.” Scroll through our gallery above (or click here for direct access) to see all of the 2024 box office hits so far that made more than $100 million in the United States. The number will continue to grow as high-profile movies like “Wicked” and “Mufasa: The Lion King” will be released later in the year.

Wow, happy birthday to Glen Powell and also to me...

“Twisters” , the new live-action ‘disaster film’, directed by Lee Isaac Chung as a standalone sequel to the 1996 feature “Twister”, stars Daisy Edgar-Jones, Glen Powell, Anthony Ramos, Maura Tierney, Brandon Perea, Daryl McCormack, Sasha Lane, Kiernan Shipka and Nik Dodani, streaming November 15, 2024 on Peacock:

‘…storm chasers risk their lives, using experimental tech methods, in an attempt to stop tornados in their tracks…”

Click the images to enlarge…...

After a successful theatrical run, ultimately grossing $371 million worldwide, Twisters will finally make its streaming debut. The film is slated to be released on Peacock this November. The exact release date is Friday, Nov. 15, 2024.

Twisters was helmed by Lee Isaac Chung (Minari) from a screenplay written by Mark L. Smith. In addition, Smith wrote the script based on a story by Joseph Kosinski.

Twisters is a disaster film serving as a standalone sequel to the 1996 classic Twister, which starred Helen Hunt, Bill Paxton, Jami Gertz, and Cary Elwes. It follows former storm chaser Kate Carter, who finds herself lured back into the field of storm chasing when her friend, Javi, reaches out and asks her if she wants to help out with testing a new tornado tracking system.

She, Javi, and their team travel to Oklahoma and eventually meet popular social media star Tyler Owens and his team of storm chasers,...

After swirling up more than $333 million at the global box office, Twisters is now storming into home theaters.

The hit sequel to the 1996 blockbuster film will be available to stream on Peacock starting Nov. 15. Until then, movie lovers can buy or rent it on digital at Prime Video, Apple TV and other premium video-on-demand platforms.

Stream 'Twisters' on prime video

The film stars Daisy Edgar-Jones as a former storm chaser-turned-meteorologist Kate Cooper and Glen Powell as Tyler Owens, a YouTube star and self-professed “tornado wrangler.” Anthony Ramos, Brandon Perea, Sasha Lane and David Corenswet also star in the new movie.

Helen Hunt and Bill Paxton starred in the original film, Twister, which was released on May 10, 1996, and earned $495 million globally. Powell recently revealed that he keeps Paxton’s memory alive by using an acting trick that the late actor shared with him when they starred together in Red Wing.

After sucking in over $370 million at the worldwide box office, Universal Pictures’ Twisters has been set to stream exclusively on Peacock beginning November 15.

Marking the sequel to Jan de Bont’s classic 1996 disaster pic, Twister, Twisters teamed lauded Minari helmer Lee Isaac Chung with stars Daisy Edgar-Jones (Where the Crawdads Sing) and Glen Powell (Hit Man).

The story follows Kate (Edgar-Jones), who ever since a devastating tornado encounter, has given up chasing storms across the Oklahoma prairie to safely study them on screens in New York City. Lured back to the field by her friend Javi (Anthony Ramos) and a once-in-a-lifetime scientific opportunity, Kate crosses paths with Tyler (Powell), a charming daredevil and self-proclaimed tornado wrangler whose thirst for tornado-tracking adventures made him a social media sensation. As storm season intensifies with terrifying phenomena unlike anything seen before, Kate and Tyler realize they may need to work together if they...

For a few years in the '90s, it seemed like Helen Hunt was destined to be a mainstay on the big and small screen alike forever. The actor landed her earliest movie role in 1977, playing a teenager in the disaster movie "Rollercoaster," which featured a singularly weird plot about a man trying to bomb an amusement park ride. Hunt continued to act over the next decade, taking roles in films like "Girls Just Want To Have Fun" and "Peggy Sue Got Married," plus the popular doctor drama "St. Elsewhere." But it wasn't until the '90s, when Hunt earned a trifecta of great, memorable roles, that she truly became a household name.

Hunt's big break came from "Mad About You," a 1992 sitcom in which she played one half of a New York City newlywed couple opposite Paul Reiser. Plotlines for the show mined married life for humor, but they...

Too many movies waste time convincing their own characters that the supernatural is real. But in XYZ Films’ striking horror gem “Falling Stars,” the people of San Bernardino County already know that witches exist. They’ve spent years coping with their neighbors’ instantaneous abductions, as spelled out in a cold open that shows a young woman running along a winding road. One moment, she’s bouncing to the beat of her footsteps, enjoying the desert air, and surveying the sprawling landscape; the next, she’s just gone.

That scene and many others in this haunting poem of a film are shot partly overhead. Although “Watch the skies!” is advice typically reserved for alien outings, that bird’s eye view proves essential to co-directors Gabriel Biencyzycki and Richard Karpala’s stirring reflection on community, survival, and the unforeseeable acts of God. Caught somewhere between 1996’s “Twister” and HBO’s “The Leftovers,...

Blu-ray.com has just announced that an all-new Collector’s Edition 4K Blu-ray of this summer’s hit film Twisters will be spinning into retailers on October 22.

The description reads: This summer, the epic studio disaster movie returns with an adrenaline-pumping, seat-gripping, big-screen thrill ride that puts you in direct contact with one of nature’s most wondrous—and destructive—forces.

From the producers of the Jurassic, Bourne and Indiana Jones series comes Twisters, a current-day chapter of the 1996 blockbuster, Twister. Directed by Lee Isaac Chung, the Oscar® nominated writer-director of Minari, Twisters stars Golden Globe nominee Daisy Edgar-Jones and Glen Powell as opposing forces who come together to try to predict, and possibly tame, the immense power of tornadoes.

Edgar-Jones stars as Kate Cooper, a former storm chaser haunted by a devastating encounter with a tornado during her college years who now studies storm patterns on screens safely in New York City.

Currently available on Digital, Twisters will land on 4K Ultra HD, Blu-ray, and DVD on October 22 via Universal. The Twister sequel is presented in 4K with Dolby Vision/Hdr and Dolby Atmos audio.

From Amblin Entertainment, the disaster epic is directed by Academy Award nominee Lee Isaac Chung (Minari) and written by Mark L. Smith.

Daisy Edgar-Jones, Glen Powell, and Anthony Ramos star with Brandon Perea, Maura Tierney, Sasha Lane, Daryl McCormack, Kiernan Shipka, and Nik Dodani.

“Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid” MGM

One of the most hotly anticipated home video releases of the year is here – and it was worth the wait. Sam Peckinpah’s highly contested western, about an older Pat Garrett (James Coburn) hired to track down and kill Billy the Kid (Kris Kristofferson), was taken away from the filmmaker in post-production and released in a truncated version that he and several of the cast and crew members outspokenly derided. This Criterion release acknowledges and engages with the various iterations of the movie, with 4K discs devoted...

Paul Scheer has a small part in “Twisters,” but the actor managed to make an outsized impression on theatergoers after a lie about being a “legacy character” took off on social media. As the actor explained to Jon Lovett on the “Lovett or Leave It” podcast, his original bit making the claim took off so much that he just started going along when asked about it.

“I’m like, ‘Yeah, [I’m the] the only legacy character.’ And then I have other people like, ‘He’s lying. He’s lying.’ I’m like, ‘Yes, of course I’m lying,'” Scheer said.

The story began while Scheer was doing red-carpet interviews for the film ahead of its release. Due to his small role in the movie, he didn’t think there would be a lot of interest in his character, but he wanted to be enthusiastic about the film. So, despite spending just hours on set,...

Pictures & Amblin Entertainment When the 1996 action movie Twister hit theaters, it was a box office tornado, sweeping audiences off their feet. With a stellar cast including Oscar-winner Helen Hunt and the unforgettable Bill Paxton, directed by the action maestro behind Speed, Jan de Bont, and produced by the legendary duo Steven Spielberg and Frank Marshall, it had all the makings of a blockbuster. A sequel seemed inevitable, but fans were left waiting… and waiting. 28 long years later, Twisters finally arrived, proving that the storm hadn’t calmed. What caused the decades-long delay? Frank Marshall, who returned to produce the sequel, shed light on the factors that kept the project grounded for so long. (Click on the media bar below to hear Frank Marshall) https://www.

It is impossible to think of disaster films and not think of Helen Hunt and Bill Paxton as Dr. Jo Harding and Bill Harding in ‘Twister’. Jan de Bont's film was the second-highest-grossing film of 1996 and had a very significant impact on popular culture, becoming a fan favorite and influencing storm chasers all over. There was never a continuation until now with Lee Isaac Chung’s stand alone sequel‘Twisters’ (2024), and now a new crew will be chasing a few storms together.

The late actor Bill Paxton was more than just a versatile actor, for he was a true Hollywood legend who carved a name for himself through his legendary portrayals in some of the biggest science fiction franchises of all time. Having passed away in 2017, the legend left behind a unique legacy and the rare distinction of being the only actor to be killed on-screen by the iconic trio: a Terminator, an Alien, and a Predator.

A unique trifecta that sets him apart from other actors in the industry, Paxton’s ability to seamlessly transition between different genres and characters not only made him a fan favorite star but also earned him his much-earned $40 million net worth!

Similar to how people went on vacation with revenge as Covid simmered down, so did they return to cinemas this summer.

Even though this season’s domestic box office take of $3.6 billion, per Comscore, is roughly a half-billion lighter than last summer’s $4.09 billion, chalk that up largely to a Marvel movie missing from the traditional early May summer kickoff slot due to the hangover from the Hollywood strikes (Deadpool & Wolverine didn’t arrive until late July). Last summer, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 3 delivered $359 million stateside upon its May 5 launch — enough said.

The town freaked out because we were going through a dry period, fearing that moviegoing was hearing the death gong. But theatrical showed a nonstop resilience once Sony’s Bad Boys: Ride or Die lit the spark in early June with a $56.5M debut, commencing a flood of event films.

The episode of Wtf Happened to This Horror Movie? covering Spawn was Written by Mike Holtz, Narrated by Tyler Nichols, Edited by Juan Jimenez, Produced by Andrew Hatfield and John Fallon, and Executive Produced by Berge Garabedian.

Almost everything about Todd McFarlane’s Spawn is purely adult fare. Even then… it’s not something you’d ever consider everyone’s cup of tea. Sure, there’s a superhero with a killer costume. But he’s from Hell and happens to be surrounded by folks who you’d imagine also keep residency there. But money is money, the MPAA is the MPAA, and you can always count on Hollywood to Hollywood. So Spawn the movie would become the walking, talking, movie version of cognitive dissonance and unleash its Hellspawn upon the world packaged as a crowd-pleasing, special FX-driven, easily digestible PG-13 film for the masses. How did it turn out? That...

With Twisters now available to purchase on Digital HD, we recently sat down with actress Sasha Lane ("Lily") to talk about her role in the blockbuster disaster film and get all the juicy behind-the-scenes details on the making of the film.

She tells me about growing up in Texas and being very familiar with the original Twister, before revealing more about how involved she got with the drones and shooting her big stunt in the finale. Plus, we also talk about working with director Lee Isaac Chung and what her hopes are for a potential sequel down the line.

In addition to Twisters, Lane's previous credits include, but are not limited to, American Honey, The Miseducation of Cameron Post, Hearts Beat Loud, Hellboy (2019), Utopia, Loki (Season 1), Marvel's Wastelanders: Hawkeye (podcast) and The Crowded Room.

To date, Twisters has grossed $347.8 million globally on an estimated $155 million production budget, and, despite its digital debut,...

Exclusive: The widow of Michael Crichton – creator of ER, Jurassic Park, Westworld, Twister, The Andromeda Strain and many other hits that blended grounded science with propulsive pop culture narratives – filed a potentially explosive lawsuit in Los Angeles Superior Court this morning.

Led by Crichton’s widow Sherri Crichton on behalf of John Michael Crichton Trust’s Roadrunner Jmtc, the suit (read it here) names Warner Bros Television, John Wells, Noah Wyle, R. Scott Gemmill and others who are charged with breach of contract, breach of implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing, and intentional interference with contractual relations. Repping Crichton is Hueston Hennigan Llp, which has demanded a jury trial. The lead attorney, Robert Klieger, repped Peter Jackson in the filmmaker’s suit against Warner Bros over profit participation, which was settled.

The lawsuit alleges that after walking away from a yearlong negotiation to make a new version of the billion-dollar hit series ER,...

Twisters is a 2024 American disaster film directed by Lee Isaac Chung from a screenplay by Mark L. Smith, based on a story by Joseph Kosinski.

Serving as a standalone sequel to Twister (1996), it stars Daisy Edgar-Jones, Glen Powell, Anthony Ramos, Brandon Perea, Maura Tierney, and Sasha Lane. It follows clashing groups of storm chasers who investigate a tornado outbreak in Oklahoma.

Make sure to also check out our written review of Twisters here.

If you've watched Twisters (and you really should because it's a blast), then chances are you spotted Superman star David Corenswet. And he's playing...well, let's just say his character isn't exactly likeable!

The way he towers over his co-stars in that movie is a pretty good indication he'll make a fine Man of Steel - physically, at least - and we now have footage of the Twisters cast celebrating the news that Corenswet had joined the Dcu.

Filmed during production of the Twister sequel, it sees the likes of Glen Powell and Katy O'Brian absolutely losing their sh*t for the actor's good news and the whole thing is incredibly wholesome. That's nice to see given what Hollywood can be like for rising stars such as Corenswet.

Earlier this summer, Twisters director Lee Isaac Chung said, "[David] was doing some auditions for 'Superman' while we were filming, and...

As the summer begins to wind down, we got what might end up being the last big summer movie, although it also performed on the lower side of expectations. Read on for the weekend box office report.

20th Century released Fede Álvarez‘s “Alien: Romulus,” starring Cailee Spaeny, into 3,885 theaters on Friday, the first movie in the long-standing sci-fi horror franchise to be distributed by Disney. After receiving decent reviews with 81% on Rotten Tomatoes, the sci-fi horror film made $6.5 million in Thursday previews, just slightly less than the $7 million opening for “It Ends with Us” a week earlier. It then made $18 million on Friday, including those previews, which already pointed to the fact that the movie would probably open under $50 million.

Sure enough, it raked in an estimated $41.5 million, which is the second-best opening for the franchise after the $51 million weekend for 2012’s “Prometheus.” The “B+” that “Romulus” received on...

Glen Powell has defended 'Twisters' following a backlash over the exclusion of a kiss between the two main characters.The actor plays a storm chaser in the disaster movie - a standalone sequel to 1996 film 'Twister' - opposite Daisy Edgar-Jones and despite their characters getting close at the end of the film director Lee Isaac Chung decided not to include a scene of the pair sharing a smooch onscreen - and Glen is adamant it was the right move.He told Screenrant: "I really think that even that [backlash] shows that people care, which is really great. I just love how excited people have gotten about that movie, and Daisy and I send each other the TikToks and the gifs. "There’s so much funny stuff coming out of it. It’s fun. That’s what summer movies are about. It creates this conversation and cultural moment,...

Kiss or no kiss, Glen Powell is just happy fans care enough about Twisters to start discourse online.

In an interview with Screenrant, the actor, who stars opposite Daisy Edgar-Jones in the sequel to 1996’s Twister, recently shared his reaction to the surprising uproar over a kiss between the two leads being omitted from the film.

“I’m taking it very personally!” he said. “I’m sure you’ve seen the behind-the-scenes, where I did get to kiss Daisy Edgar-Jones, which really is all that counts. [Laughs] We had a great time, and I’m really proud of the movie.”

Throughout the movie, romantic tension builds between Powell’s Tyler, a hotshot storm chaser, and Edgar-Jones’ Kate, a retired tornado chaser, as they team up to take on a massive tornado. However, an onscreen kiss never made it into the final cut, and footage only later emerged on social media of...

The popular summer blockbuster film “Twisters” has ignited discussion among fans about a decision to cut a romantic scene between the two main characters. The movie, a sequel to the 1996 disaster film “Twister,” tells the story of storm chasers tracking intense weather patterns across the Midwest. Glen Powell stars as Tyler Owens, who teams up with atmospheric scientist Kate, played by Daisy Edgar-Jones, to document powerful tornadoes.

In a recent interview, Powell addressed the backlash from viewers upset that a kissing scene between his character Tyler and Kate’s character was removed from the final cut of the film. The actor said he was surprised by the passionate response but understood fans wanted to see the on-screen chemistry between the two leads play out further. While some argue including the kiss was unnecessary and wouldn’t impact the plot, others believe it would have provided a satisfying conclusion to the...

Directed by Academy Award Nominee Lee Isaac Chung from a screenplay by Mark L. Smith, Twisters has all the destruction, mayhem, and cool characters you want in a film like this.

Twisters follows the story of Kate, a former storm chaser, who is lured back into the fields for one last time by her friend, Javi, to test a groundbreaking new tracking system. As she begins working with Javi, Kate meets Tyler Owens, a charming but reckless social media superstar who built his fanbase by chasing storms. As storm season gets more dangerous, Kate, Tyler, and the people in their team find themselves fighting against a storm to survive.

After wrapping up July with a Jan de Bont double feature discussing the movie magic of Twister (listen) and the laundry list of problems with his 1999 remake of The Haunting (listen), we’re tackled our first Alejandro Jodorowsky film with Santa Sangre (listen).

When the 2000s began, Todd Field was a journeyman actor best known for his work in “Ruby in Paradise,” “Eyes Wide Shut,” and a pair of Jan de Bont spectacles.. A year into the decade, he would be recognized as one of the most promising filmmakers of his generation after writing and directing “In the Bedroom” (2001), a low-budget indie that became a surprising commercial success on its way to five Oscar nominations. Looking back now, Field recognizes that it was a unique time not just for him, but for film history in general.

“There are so many advantages now, technically, for young filmmakers starting out,” Field told IndieWire. “But in terms of actually having people see the work, it seems much harder. The idea that this film got made, that it got into Sundance,...

If you feel it, chase it -- that little pearl of wisdom applies to obsessive storm-chasers and humble movie fans, alike. Despite its somewhat ham-fisted attempt to connect itself to a preexisting franchise (if the original 1996 movie can even be called that), "Twisters" felt like a breath of fresh air upon release this past July. In my review for /Film, I called it a "satisfying, crowd-pleasing effort [that] somehow rides the fine line between its IP obligations and a refreshingly self-contained experience" and I stand by every word. Sure, its impressive box-office performance was fueled by a number of factors (not least of all the Glen Powell Effect), but deep down I believe audiences responded to its throwback charms as the kind of Amblin-esque movie that we simply don't get enough of anymore.

Although it was practically made to be experienced on the biggest screen possible, that likely won't stop anyone...

This weekend’s biggest theatrical release was the novel-based romantic drama “It Ends with Us,” starring Blake Lively, taking on the seemingly unstoppable “Deadpool and Wolverine” juggernaut. Read on for the weekend box office report.

Although Lively’s movie did very well, better than some expected, “Deadpool and Wolverine” stayed on top for a third weekend in a row with $54.2 million, down just 44% to bring its domestic total to $494.3 million. Marvel Studios’ latest is just one or two days away from hitting the $500 million milestone, a benchmark achieved by a mere 21 movies — see the complete list.

The Ryan Reynolds–Hugh Jackman blockbuster grossed another $57.8 million internationally this weekend for an overseas total of $535.2 million, and sure enough, it crossed the $1 billion mark globally, remaining the second-biggest blockbuster of 2024. Another landmark of note is the $78 million the movie has made on global IMAX screens, divided at $41.3 million domestic and $36.7 million international.

After wrapping up July with a Jan de Bont double feature discussing the movie magic of Twister (listen) and the laundry list of problems with his 1999 remake of The Haunting (listen), we’re heading down to Mexico City to discuss Alejandro Jodorowsky‘s surrealist masterpiece Santa Sangre (1989).

Santa Sangre sees Fenix (Axel Jodorowsky), a former circus magician, escape from a mental hospital to rejoin his armless mother Concha (Blanca Guerra), the leader of a strange religious cult. Once they are reunited, Fenix is forced to enact brutal murders on Concha’s behalf as he becomes “her arms.” Only a figure from his past, the deaf mute tightrope walker Alma (Sabrina Dennison), can stop him before he murders again; but will she be able to reach him in time?

Overall the movie maintained a positive outlook in the audience’s eyes, its ending was a rather polarizing one with many wanting something more whereas others felt just as satisfied. Given that the ending is Steven Spielberg’s magic, the former shared his stance in favor of the polarizing ending.

Twisters, starring Glen Powell and Daisy Edgar-Jones, will allegedly hit the Ott platforms this month, even before it completes one month in the theatres. The movie exceeded the industry’s expectations and opened with a bang at the box office. Despite the release of Deadpool & Wolverine, the movie is holding its own at the box office. Scroll below to find when and where it is reportedly coming.

About the movie-

Lee Isaac Chung directed the 2024 movie, and the screenplay was by Mark L. Smith, based on Joseph Kosinski‘s story. It is the stand-alone sequel to the 1996 movie Twister. It received positive reviews from the critics and is still doing stable business. It features Glen Powell, Daisy Edgar-Jones, Anthony Ramos, Brandon Perea, Maura Tierney, and Sasha Lane.

The story of Twisters follows clashing groups of storm chasers who investigate the tornado outbreak in Oklahoma.

In a world where intimate scenes have become a part and parcel of cinema that helps explain human connections, Glen Powell’s latest movie Twisters sparked controversies for yanking a kissing scene between the leads. Leaving audiences high and dry with simply tornado-chasing plots, the 2024 follow-up generated significant buzz for their bizarre decision.

So much so that even Zack Snyder, who is practically the reigning monarch of on-screen passion was left scratching his head in bewilderment. After the filmmaker recently released the R-rated versions of his Rebel Moon films, Snyder addressed the controversial choice of editing a kissing scene between Glen Powell and Daisy Edgar-Jones, that left him reeling.

Glen Powell’s Twisters Sparked Outrage After a Controversial Editing Decision

After initially generating positive remarks on social media, upon its release, Glen Powell and Daisy Edgar-Jones’ Twisters suddenly began sparking controversies.

Henry Cavill’s unilateral rise… and fall in the movie business has been documented extensively by the fans and critics alike. Despite his fervent popularity and global stardom, the A-list actor has hardly accrued a major blockbuster to his name that, despite doing well commercially, did not end up falling under the critics’ hellhole.

Apart from playing second fiddle to Tom Cruise and a teenager on Netflix, Cavill fell victim to a pop-culture phenomenon due to a wildly controversial and divisive trilogy that broke up a franchise, pushed a 100-year-old studio to the brink of bankruptcy, and catalyzed a restructuring and complete reboot of the said studio system.

Without a proper business plan to ease along his path toward an enduring career, Henry Cavill lies dormant in public memory, living off of his glory days and nurturing the possibility of a great future in cinema.

After a killer start at the box office, here's when fans can expect 2024's Twisters to be released on digital and streaming.

Twisters opened to $81.2 million domestically, setting a new record for natural disaster movies, previously held by 2004's The Day After Tomorrow.

Headlined by Glen Powell, Daisy Edgar-Jones, and Anthony Ramos, the spiritual successor for 1996's Twister is living up to the summer blockbuster expectations.

Der Start des McU-Hits markierte eine ganze Reihe von Jahresbestleistungen beim globalen Kinomarktführer AMC – gerade auch abseits des Ticketumsatzes.

In wenigen Tagen (am 2. August) legt AMC seine Bilanz für das zweite Quartal vor – und schon die Vorabveröffentlichung erster Zahlen machte deutlich, wie willkommen eine von jenen Erfolgsmeldungen ist, mit denen die weltweit größte Kinokette bei passenden Gelegenheiten nicht spart. Wie nun auch zum Start von „Deadpool & Wolverine“, der übrigens einmal mehr den Verdacht schürte, dass so manche US-Startprognose zuletzt bewusst konservativ gewählt wurde (siehe auch „Alles steht Kopf 2“ oder „Twister“). Denn unmittelbar vor dem Preview-Tag hatten Experten für Nordamerika noch 160 bis 170 Mio. Dollar am ersten Wochenende gesehen – tatsächlich wurden es über 211 Mio. Dollar. Fast ein Viertel mehr, als am oberen Ende erwartet – und fünf Mio. Dollar mehr, als der McU-Fehlgriff „The Marvels“ eingespielt hatte.

Sony is already ahead of the game without having invested hundreds of millions of dollars into its own streaming platform. This week, once again, results show this is no barrier to Sony’s success in reaching home viewers while generating strong revenues.

“Bad Boys: Ride or Die” premiered on VOD for a $19.99 rental last Tuesday, 47 days after its theatrical release. It remains in the box office top 10 at #7, with a $192 million domestic gross so far. Both iTunes (ranking by transaction) and Fandango (which calculates by revenue) rank it #1.

Meantime, “Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire” is the latest of Sony’s films to transition to initial streaming on Netflix about four months after release (and a strong VOD run). It took first place there immediately when it debuted last Tuesday, staying atop all week.

Kevin Costner’s “Horizon: An American Saga — Chapter 1” (Warner Bros.) was displaced from the top spot on both charts.

Joss Whedon has had a dramatic career trajectory in Hollywood. But before his rise to fame after the huge reception of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, he was just a normal writer trying to etch a place for himself in Tinsel Town. In the 80s, he started lending his scriptwriting skills to blockbusters such as Alien: Resurrection and Twister, to name a few.

But this rapid rise to popularity was also subject to a lot of criticism and followed a precipitous fall. However, long before he butchered the Justice League, Whedon found himself in a somewhat similar situation with Kevin Costner’s Waterworld (1995).

Kevin Costner‘s Waterworld had a unique history of its own. Released in 1995, the movie had a budget that soured to unprecedented heights. But despite the grandeur and hefty budget, it quickly...
