hmm… honest answer – the follower numbers you’re throwing out (8k, 18k) are very optimistic for a niche movie account that doesn’t show your face and isn’t writing reviews on the platform itself.
that said, movie Twitter is actually one of the better niches to be in. people are obsessed. the accounts that grow are the ones with strong opinions, not just news sharing. ‘here’s the trailer for X’ gets ignored. ‘here’s why the trailer for X looks terrible and everyone is wrong about the director’ gets engagement.
your website is a separate thing – don’t try to use Twitter to drive traffic to it, at least not yet. build the audience first by being interesting, then the link in bio does the work.
realistically if you’re consistent and actually opinionated, 2-3k in a year is achievable. 8k+ is possible but would take something going semi-viral at least once.
