Box Office: ‘Twisters’ Aims to Stir Up $55 Million Debut
"Twisters" should touch down at the box office with $50 million to $55 million in its domestic debut.
“Minari” filmmaker Lee Isaac Chung directed “Twisters,” which 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. The original “Twister,” starring Helen Hunt, Bill Paxton, Cary Elwes and Philip Seymour Hoffman as storm-chasing scientists trying to conquer the most powerful tornado in decades, was released nearly 30 years ago and turned into a massive hit. The sequel has garnered mostly positive reviews (it holds an 82% on Rotten Tomatoes), with Variety’s chief film critic Owen Gleiberman describing “Twisters” as fun but “not nearly as good” as its predecessor.
