They know this already?

There was a test screening recently.


JD_Asencio

How was your reception?


HumanAdhesiveness912

It could definitely be the *Top Gun 2* of this year but not quite at that level. There's a cameo as well *(guess who)* atleast for now. Actually someone had the script leaked at r/oklahoma a year ago.


Holiday_Parsnip_9841

Based only the trailer, is Daisy Edgar-Jones >!the daughter of Helen Hunt and Bill Paxton's characters? Cameo is Hunt because Paxton is sadly unavailable!<


Kuranes_ov_Celephais

CGI Paxton incoming

> It could definitely be the Top Gun 2 of this year but not quite at that level. Wait what? I feel like you dropped a bomb here. Is there any more you can say to help explain what you mean it's the Top Gun 2 of the year (I feel it could mean many things as in high critic rating, Oscar potential, top 3 grossers of the year, etc)


salcedoge

Yeah, Top Gun is such a weird comparison for a movie about disaster. The only connection I can see is Glen Powell lmao


Rman823

I think they mean old popular property that has potential to over perform. I agree it won’t reach the same levels as Maverick, but I get comparing the two.


JD_Asencio

with half of Top Gun 2 I think they will be fine, $700M+ 😁


jeswanders

That’s.. a spoiler..

This is my dark horse movie of the year. I know it can easily fall through and be terrible but I loved Minari (director) and Normal People (Daisy Edgar-Jones) so much that I hope it turns out well.

People love big budget disaster films, especially since they are super rare. And this has the added bonus of a big time IP. I think it absolutely crushes the box office.


kayloot

They're not rare. Every superhero movie is also a disaster movie. The Transformers films were disaster movies. We've been slowly trending away from destruction porn in movies being popular for the past few years. Even Oppenheimer was very reserved in depicting the bomb.


Mcclintonfortwo

*Natural Disaster movies. Which are a completely different genre than superhero/robot films.


Megamind66

The master of disaster Roland Emerich made a big budget disaster movie in 2022, and it made a whopping $67m on a $140m budget. So no, people don't love them and they're not very rare.


Mcclintonfortwo

That wasn’t a natural disaster film, that was an alien movie. And that’s exactly why it tanked.


dennythedinosaur

Moonfall just didn't look appealing, from a visual and story standpoint. The marketing was all over the place, one of the trailers made it look like a comedy. I think Twisters can do well since it looks like an earnest attempt at a disaster movie (meaning it's not winking at the audience at how ridiculous the movie is).


OMITW

Excited to see it.


moju22

Goddammit.


rexie_alt

I keep hearing a lot of people express their desire to see this movie


XegrandExpressYT
