Halon Entertainment’s Post

Greetings! Universal’s TWISTERS touched down this weekend with a bracing $80.5M in ticket sales. After five weeks led by animated family films DESPICABLE ME 4 and INSIDE OUT 2, the summer action genre stepped back into its traditional leading role. DM4 and IO2 were also solid contributors, leading to a weekend gross of $147.2M for all titles. TWISTERS’ surprising success took some of the edge off what would otherwise have been a difficult comparison to last year, when the dual openings of BARBIE and OPPENHEIMER powered the weekend box office to $311M, its best total of the year. Exhibitors will enjoy another thrill next weekend when Marvel’s long-anticipated DEADPOOL & WOLVERINE arrives. The R-Rated superhero matchup combines the forces of two beloved characters, the wisecracking DEADPOOL played by Ryan Reynolds and the nimble slasher WOLVERINE played by Hugh Jackman. Its opening weekend may be over twice that of TWISTERS’ this weekend. For more results, check out Dick Walsh’s Weekend Review. You will also enjoy reading Alonso Duralde’s review of TWISTERS, published in partnership with The Film Verdict. In this week’s Don’t Kill the Messenger podcast, host Kevin Goetz enjoys a conversation with DeVon Franklin, known for his work on inspirational films such as Breakthrough, Miracles from Heaven, and Flamin' Hot, as well as the BET series Kingdom Business. #twisters #universalpictures #glenpowell #despicableme4 #illuminationentertainment #insideout2 #disney #pixar #devonfranklin #kevingoetz #dontkillthemessenger #boxoffice #boxofficepreview #screendollars

Wanted to share this character lineup! It's a redesign of the characters from Jack and the Beanstalk, but with a sci-fi tone. From left to right is Jack's mom, Jack, the merchant, and the giant. #characterdesign #characterlineup #worldbuilding #concept art #videogamedesign #jackandthebeanstalk

It's encouraging to read a Civil War movie review that offers up constructive suggestions for how we can prevent large-scale violence. These suggestions effectively mirror strategies for successfully working on teams and across all kinds of divides: listen first, get genuinely curious, seek to understand, expose yourself to perspectives outside of your comfort zone, arrive at better solutions (and relationships intact!). #disagreebetter #positiveintelligence

I had a great chat with Dallas in this episode. His experience in environment design and lighting, is great, and I hope you find it as helpful as I did. I really enjoy talking to my peers about the industry, process and sharing insights from past experience. If you have questions or want more content like this, let me know!

More shots from one of my favorite projects with HM Creative Studios last year! 🎬 In this particular part, we dive into the ingenious solution the soldiers came up with to outsmart the snipers 🎯 By creating paper mache dummy heads and strategically hiding them in the trenches, they were able to track the direction of the sniper fire 💡 Talk about thinking outside the box! 🙌🏼 It's moments like these that truly showcase the bravery and ingenuity of mankind 💪🏼 #HMcreativestudios #SoldierSolutions #ThinkingOutsideTheBox #InnovativeTactics #SaluteOurSoldiers #Professional #BehindTheScenes."
