Summer’s Most Popular Movies on Twitter
Carson Burton From Tom Cruise flying at Mach 10 speeds to Daniel Kaluuya besting a man-eating alien monster, this summer’s biggest movies have provided plenty to talk about. As the summer movie season draws to a quiet close, it’s time to look back at some of its most-talked-about hits. Thanks to the Variety Film Chatter Chart, which partners with Twitter to track engagement and determine each week’s trending titles, fans and industry heads alike can know just what is generating buzz on social media. Here are the 10 titles that led the pack this summer. Brad Pitt’s action endeavor ranked 10th on the Film Chatter Chart with 344,118 engagements. Thanks to director David Leitch, of “John Wick” and “Hobbs & Shaw” fame, “Bullet Train” delivered an absurdly action-packed adventure outfitted with countless stars. Alongside Pitt, the film’s cast of Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Brian Tyree Henry, Bad Bunny, Joey King, Sandra Bullock, Karen Fukuhara and Hiroyuki Sanada surely drew in audiences. And, of course, there’s always Pitt’s skirt to thank for some social media buzz.
