The sequel to the 1996 blockbuster, Twisters, has made a massive splash at the box office. In just one week, this action-packed movie about storm chasers has zoomed into the top 10 highest-grossing films of 2024 in the United States.
Twisters has been a huge hit with audiences. It pulled in over $10 million on a single day, July 24th. This incredible success isn’t just limited to the United States. People around the world are loving the movie. So far, Twisters has earned a total of $156 million – a staggering $113 million in the US and another $43 million internationally.
This rapid rise to fame has meant another movie had to step aside. John Krasinski’s family comedy, IF, starring Ryan Reynolds, couldn’t keep up with the Twisters whirlwind. Despite a star-studded cast and a big budget, IF couldn’t match Twisters’ box office power.
Twisters is now aiming to topple another big-name film, Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire. With only a small gap between their earnings, Twisters is expected to overtake Ghostbusters in the next day or so.
The original Twister, released in 1996, was also a massive success. It made a whopping $41 million in its first week, which is equal to around $82 million in today’s money. To put that into perspective, the second-highest-grossing movie that week, The Truth About Cats & Dogs, only made $3.8 million.
Beyond the impressive box office numbers, Twisters has won over critics as well. People love the movie’s thrilling action sequences and its fun, over-the-top style. With talented actors like Glen Powell and Daisy Edgar-Jones, and a massive budget for stunning special effects, Twisters delivers an unforgettable cinematic experience.
No wonder moviegoers are flocking to theaters to see Twisters. It’s a must-see film that will leave you on the edge of your seat.
