Box Office Round-Up: Glen Powells Twisters Touches Down, Wipes Out Competition

As a die-hard movie fan with years of experience following box office trends and analyzing film industry data, I’m thrilled to witness Lee Isaac Chung’s “Twisters” making such an impressive debut at the box office. The collaboration between Glen Powell and Daisy Edgar-Jones in this disaster film drama has truly resonated with audiences, as evidenced by its strong ratings and solid box office performance.


As a passionate moviegoer, I’m thrilled to share that the captivating film “Twisters,” directed by the talented Lee Isaac Chung, has taken the box office by storm. Over its opening weekend, this gripping collaboration between actors Glen Powell and Daisy Edgar-Jones raked in an impressive $80.5 million domestically (as reported by The Numbers). Amazingly, they ranked as the second-highest summer movie debut of 2024, only surpassed by “Inside Out 2” ($154.2 million). Furthermore, “Twisters” outshone both “Dune: Part Two” ($82 million) and the previously mentioned animated adventure in terms of yearly earnings during their premieres.

In contrast to its 1996 precursor, “Twister,” which featured the late Bill Paxton and Helen Hunt, amassed $41 million during its opening weekend in theaters. Yet, this nearly 30-year-old disaster movie managed to generate a domestic box office revenue of $241.8 million and an additional $252.8 million from international sales. Adjusting for inflation, these figures equate to approximately $990.3 million in current value. Therefore, did the 1996 “Twister” have the potential to gross over $1 billion at the box office?

Although professional critics have given “Twisters” a Tomatometer rating of 78% at Rotten Tomatoes, the movie has received positive feedback from audiences. Consequently, its audience score on Rotten Tomatoes is 92%, and viewers leaving the theater have awarded it an “A-” CinemaScore. The figures are promising, but the release of “Deadpool & Wolverine” may impact “Twisters'” box office performance in the upcoming weekend.

I was thrilled last week when “Despicable Me” with Steve Carell’s charming Gru and his adorable Minions ruled the box office for three consecutive weeks. But just as I was basking in their success, a new contender emerged: “Twisters.” This weekend, it stormed into first place, leaving “Despicable Me” at the second spot with an impressive $23.8 million domestic earnings. The Top 5 films this week are dominated by animation and horror genres.

As a movie critic with over a decade of experience under my belt, I’ve seen my fair share of box office juggernauts and surprise hits. And let me tell you, the current state of the cinema scene is nothing short of exhilarating!

As a dedicated moviegoer and box office analyst with years of experience under my belt, I find this weekend’s Top 5 box office results quite intriguing. The quiet thriller “A Quiet Place: Day One” made a strong showing with $6.1 million, adding to the success of its predecessor. On the other hand, IFC Films’ new release “Oddity” barely missed out on making it into the Top 10 with just $550,500 from 799 cinemas.

Will the huge anticipated box office earnings for “Deadpool & Wolverine’s” movie become a reality? Discover the answer when Shawn Levy’s superhero film, the long-awaited release, hits theaters this upcoming Friday (July 26).
