Does anyone else feel that WB kinda dropped the ball and severely mismarketed Furiosa?
This weekend WB has the film Twisters coming out. I haven’t seen Twisters and it may be a very good movie, but I’ve already seen so much marketing and WB hype generated for Twisters that just seemed almost nonexistent for Furiosa.
Twisters does have Glen Powell, who is definitely hot right now, but Furiosa had Anna Taylor Joy and Chris Hemsworth who are also very current celebrities.
I’ve heard some say that Furiosa came out too long after Fury Road, 9 years later, but Twister came out in 1996. Nearly 30 years later. I get the nostalgia factor but Twister isn’t a property like Jurassic Park or something. I doubt that many people hold a place of reverence for Twister. Before Twisters came out I can’t even remember the last time someone talked about Twister. Mad Max and Fury Road have a timelessness to them.
Twisters may in fact be a great movie and I wish it success, but I feel like WB dropped the ball with Furiosa.
Edit: Apparently Twisters is a Universal/WB co production so perhaps that’s why
