Summer box office hit “Twisters” has smashed expectations by bringing in $80.5 million in its opening weekend.
“Twisters” has twirled its way to a huge opening weekend, smashing expectations by bringing in $80.5 million. For context, Oppenheimer brought in $80.5 million when it opened on the same weekend in 2023.
The stellar performance of the film, a sequel to the 1996 disaster epic “Twister," may be due to the fact that it appears to be genuinely well-liked by audiences; as of publishing, the film has a 92 percent audience score on Rotten Tomatoes.
However, while a review of the movie by the The Atlantic begged readers to "Please See Twisters in Theaters," Mashable's own Kristy Puchko was less than impressed with the flick, calling it "a wobbly ride that leaves disappointment in its wake."
The surprise success of "Twisters," which was only projected to generate up to $55 million on opening weekend, was also likely buoyed by the appeal of its rising stars Glen Powell and Daisy Edgar-Jones. The duo have powered through impressive press tour to promote the movie, including going head-to-head in a Hot Ones match up.
The $80.5 million opening of "Twisters" is the third-biggest opening weekend of the year behind “Inside Out 2” ($154 million) and “Dune: Part Two” ($82 million).
