‘Twisters’ Rocks Box Office With Powerful $80.5 Million Opening Weekend
"Twisters" beat box office expectations, debuting to $80 million over the weekend.
Directed by “Minari” filmmaker Lee Isaac Chung, “Twisters” stars Daisy Edgar-Jones, Glen Powell and Anthony Ramos as storm chasers who find themselves in the fight of their lives as multiple tornadoes converge over central Oklahoma. Yet after a slow start to summer, the box office is finally gaining momentum thanks to several overperforming tentpoles like “Inside Out 2,” “Despicable Me 4” and “A Quiet Place: Day One.” Over the past month or so, the year-to-date deficit has shrunk from 21% to 17%, according to Comscore. The film, starring Channing Tatum and Scarlett Johansson as a NASA director and marketing expert who have a meet-cute against the backdrop of the Apollo 11 mission, has generated a paltry $16 million to date.
