Box Office: ‘Twisters’ Whipping Up Huge Storm With Record $74.6M Domestic Opening


The film would mark the biggest start ever for a natural disaster pic, and is the latest summer event movie to exceed forecasts.

Lee Isaac Chung’s Twisters is whipping up huge winds at the box office, with forecasters predicting a far better-than-expected domestic opening of $74.6 million. The turnout for Twisters cements the rising star status of Hollywood’s man-of-the-moment Glen Powell, along with Daisy Edgar-Jones and Anthony Ramos(the trio lead the ensemble cast). And, not surprisingly, the movie is doing its biggest business in areas impacted by the dangerous weather phenomenon (Friday’s top theater was in Oklahoma).
