Everyone is clear that Deadpool & Wolverine is going to be one of the box office hits of the year, if not the most watched movie of 2024. It was also clear, although it has surprised with its huge numbers, that Inside Out 2 was going to do very well. What didn’t seem so obvious is that Twisters, a disaster movie like the ones that are no longer made, was going to have such a good reception from the audience.
In its first weekend worldwide, Twisters has grossed $80.5 million, achieving several milestone records. It is the best opening weekend for a disaster movie, the second-largest opening for a live-action film this year—only two million behind Oppenheimer’s opening a year ago.
A movie like the ones that are no longer made
Although its numbers are expected to decrease a bit, especially with the release of the aforementioned Deadpool & Wolverine scheduled for July 25th, it is clear that Twisters will far exceed its investment, and according to critics, it’s not surprising; it’s a movie like no other, and a refreshing summer blockbuster for everyone.
