Since the movie came out in June of 2001 (around three months before 9/11), its theater run shouldn't really be affected much.
On the other hand, once The Animal is released onto video and DVD by late 2001 or early 2002, the Twin Towers could either remain in the film or they could get digitally edited out.
Maybe the poster would replace the Twin Towers with the Empire State Building or something.

The performance was recorded by one of his sons, and it is famously one of the only recordings of Cox performing live during the 2000s prior to him receiving a lifetime achievement award in 2007.

Still from 1999’s Wizard of Oz, a remake produced by Warner Brothers of the classic 1939 musical staring Natalie Portman as Dorothy Gale. While the film would not be as beloved as the original, it would still do well at the box office and critics while fans would praise Portman for her interpretation of Dorothy‘s character, which they felt was truer to the character from the book then Judy Garland’s take on the character, despite the fact Portman’s Dorothy was clearly an older teenager then the younger child of the book.
The film would be a modest box office success, despite having to compete with Star Wars: Episode I: The Phantom Menace, a film Portman auditioned for but lost the role of Queen Amidala to Keira Knightley. As such a sequel, based on the second book of the Oz series, would be released in 2002 with Emma Watson staring as the protagonist Princess Ozma.

To be honest I haven’t thought of that, maybe Steven Spielberg? I was mostly playing around with Stable Diffusion, mostly having different actors and actresses in certain famous roles, hence this pic and I thought it would fit in this thread. I might make a few ‘sequels‘ to this one like showing the Emma Watson one or a alt!Attack of the Clones/Revenge of the Sith with Anakin Skywalker portrayed by Leonardo DiCaprio.

With the modest success of 1999’s The Wizard of Oz remake, Warner Bros green lighted a sequel, The Land of Oz, that would be eventually released in 2002. Staring Emma Watson, Alan Cumming, Eva Green, Nicole Kidman, and Meryl Streep, the film followed a young, tomboyish girl named Tip(Watson), the servant girl of the Wicked Witch Mombi(Streep), as she escapes from her cruel guardian and discovers her true identity as Ozma, the half human, half fairy heir to the throne of Oz, and becoming caught, after the overthrow of the Scarecrow(Cumming), in a power struggle between the scheming Mombi, Glinda the Good(Kidman), who seeks to restore Tip/Ozma to the throne, and a ambitious and power hungry woman named General Jinjur(Green), who leads an all female army, the Army of Revolt, and seeks to rule Oz for her own mysterious purposes.
Released towards the end of 2002, The Land of Oz was a decent box office hit, despite having to compete with Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers and Star Trek: Nemesis, with Oz completely trancing the latter while finishing a respectable 2nd behind the former. The Land of Oz would receive a reevaluation in the 2010s and 2020s, with trans activists in particular criticizing the removal of the plot point of the original book of Ozma having been transformed into a boy and needing to reclaim her true self. Some feminists would also criticize Jinjur’s character, as some feel her depiction in the book and film came across as sexist to modern sensibilities.
Although not as critically sucessful as it’s predecessor, the film did was successful enough that another sequel, Ozma of Oz, would be produced and released in 2005. Again staring Emma Watson as Ozma, now Queen of Oz, she now has to contend of the machinations of the Nome King(John Rhys-Davies), revealed to be the true backer behind Jinjur’s attempt to rule Oz in the previous films. The film would also see the return of Dorothy Gale, now played by Lindsey Lohan, replacing Natalie Portman as she was now too old to portray the still teenage Dorothy, as she and Ozma together face the Nome King, who has kidnapped the Queen of the Land of Ev and her family.
Ozma of Oz would prove to not be as successful as it’s predecessors, receiving mixed to negative critical reviews and although it would make back it’s budget, it would be trounced at the box office by Star Wars: Episode III: Revenge of the Sith, thus leading Warner Bros to shelve plans for any further films based on the Oz books. Lindsey Lohan’s performance would in particular be panned by critics and fans alike, with her wooden, dull surprise acting being vastly inferior to Natalie Portman’s and Judy Garland’s portrayal of the character. Her performance though later revealed to be due to personal problems in Lohan’s life and tensions on set due to said problems. Perhaps the most mocked scene in the film would be the sword and magic fight at the climax between Dorothy and Ozma versus the Nome King. This scene and others would become a source of memes in the 2010s, with comparisons to the climatic duel in Revenge of the Sith between Obi-Wan Kenobi(Ewan McGregor) and Anakin Skywalker(Leonardo DiCaprio).
Despite this, Ozma of Oz would become something of a cult classic, especially among, in contrast to the previous film, LGBT fans due to the perceived romantic undertones to Dorothy and Ozma’s fast friendship while it’s climax would invite comparisons to Disney’s Return to Oz(1985). Many fans would react with dismay when Warner Bros. would announce a reboot of the Oz Trilogy in the 2020s.

I don't even know, anymore. I'm combining my OCs for the sake of it.
Still frame of Brendan Fraser in 1999's Indiana Jones and The Tomb of the Pharaoh. While Harrison Ford declined to return for the new installment, citing a back injury he sustained in during the production of Last Crusade, Brendan Fraser was his hand picked successor and was praised for his take on the character. Fraser would play reprise the role in three more movies after.
The Notebook (2004): Allie Hamilton (Rachel McAdams) is blindsided when her old flame, Noah (Ryan Gosling), returns home from serving in the military. While Noah seems very eager to pick up where they left off, Allie tries to explain that she's not the same person he left behind, having now gotten engaged to her fiancee Lonnie (James Marsden), but it quickly becomes apparent that after the war, Noah is also a very different man, and he's not going let her go so easily.
Yeah it definitely seemed more like a horror movie than a romance , especially in hindsight.

As someone who grew up with the original 1939 film, I would've loved to have seen these three OZ movies made, even the crappy third one.

I've would've also like to have seen the memes the films (especially the third one like you mentioned) could've possibly spawned.
I understand Lindsay Lohan not being a good Dorothy due to her having personal problems, so I can't blame her entirely for her bad acting in Ozma of Oz.
Early photograph showing a cartload of Hibernian Huge’s being transported from field to market. Discovered on a remote almost barren island off the coast of Connacht in the early 1840s, this new strain of potato is widely cited as helping stave of mass famine in Ireland when Blight tore through the more common varieties of potatoes used across the island in 1845. While not practical for every farm, they quickly become a staple feature of Irish agriculture and cuisine.
