The action-packed film Twisters keeps making headlines at the box office. Over the last weekend, it earned an estimated $4.1 million from 3,923 screens in 74 international markets. Even though the film has been out for a few weeks, it has shown impressive endurance with only a 46% drop in earnings.
It’s clear that Twisters is performing better in the United States than abroad, but its success, especially in the American heartland, benefits Universal, which managed the domestic release. The film has also gained popularity in 4DX theaters worldwide.
The total international earnings have reached $87.8 million, with the global gross now at $310 million as of Sunday. In Japan, Twisters is doing well, making about ¥77.8 million ($546,000) during its second weekend. This is a 39% decrease from its first weekend, bringing Japan’s total to ¥323.3 million ($2.1 million).
The film’s success in Japan is notable given the tough competition. Twisters is also scheduled to open in Korea on August 14th, which could increase its international revenue even more.
