Which of these movies belongs in the 2024 Summer Blockbuster Pool?

[S.K.o.S.]

If you're new here, we used to run this pool where I put up a list of 20 movies coming out this summer, and people rank them based on predicted box office take and critical reception. Then the pandemic happened. Then I started running the pool again last year, and it's back again in 2024.

In the past, I missed putting some movies on the list that should've been there (e.g. Bridesmaids) and put some movies on the list that should not have been there (e.g. My Life In Ruins). So, for the past few years, the selection of the borderline movies has been up to you.
 
I already have 18 movies selected.  I'm looking to fill the last 2 spots.  The top 2 vote-getters in this poll will be included in this year's pool.
 
You basically want to vote for the movie that you think will end up having the most people talking about it.  Like, the kind of movie that if it wasn't on the list, we'd be thinking "Oh man, how did we miss that one?"

The board isn't letting me post links nicely, but here are trailers for 5 of the 6 movies.

Strangers Chapter 1: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fpBjTJsiRoY 
The Watchers: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uy1JzSsN9Fg
The Bikeriders https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SolhWny1zF4
Longlegs: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dkcrNh9XSSw
Alien Romulus: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Fwu21D27eI

I don't think Blink Twice has a trailer yet (although there's a different lower budget movie with that same name that does).

Also you should know that Zoe Kravitz directed Blink Twice, and one of M. Night Shyamalan's daughters directed The Watchers.

Voted for Alien just on name value I think it will make bank. But Blink Twice has piqued my interest with that cast of 80s and 90s actors.

I went for Alien: Romulus as it's an Alien film but also because we've had Prometheus and Alien: Covenant in the previous Summer Blockbuster Pools. Finish the story.

Blink Twice or The Bikeriders would be my second choice.

I was going to go with The Bikeriders, but I played it safe.

I think we can stop the damn match

And I better send JT a message to make sure he doesn't miss this year's pool

I did this not because it will be, but Jeff Nichols just has a good track record in general.

Ok. I needed to get 2 movies out of this. Alien Romulus obviously is the first one. Then Bikeriders and Watchers each have 1 vote right now. I'm going with Bikeriders because there's been more talk about it in this thread.

Will post the pool thread at some point this afternoon.
