Box Office Results: Twisters Conjures A Mighty Storm

by

As a long-time movie enthusiast and box office analyst, I must admit that this past weekend’s box office results left me both thrilled and intrigued. Universal Pictures’ Twisters took the top spot with an impressive $80.5 million opening, making it a strong contender for a $200M+ domestic finish. This is a significant achievement, especially given the competition from other major releases like Marvel’s Deadpool and Wolverine.

Part Two” ($82M) and equals “Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire” ($80M). Therefore, expectations are high for “Twisters” sequel to make over $200 million in the US market.

Universal scored a victory with “Dune” and “Godzilla: King of the Monsters,” as they had little competition at the box office. However, the upcoming release of Marvel’s “Deadpool” and “Wolverine” is expected to draw a significant portion of viewers for some time. Nonetheless, this is a considerable success for Universal, considering “Twisters” raked in a global total of $123 million. Forty-three percent of the revenue came from Imax and Premium Large Format screens.

Are we ready to call Powell a star yet?

For comparison’s sake, the original Twister opened with $41.1M from 2,414 theaters in 1996.

In the latest box office update, Twisters pushed Despicable Me 4 into second place on the Top 10 chart, making $23.8 million in its third week (-45%). This animated Universal production has amassed a total of $259.5 million domestically and an impressive $574 million globally. In third place, Inside Out 2 earned another $12.8 million, bringing its grand total to $596.3 million. With this addition, Pixar’s animated sensation now ranks at No. 15 on the All-Time Domestically chart, just behind Incredibles 2 ($608.5M) and Star Wars: The Last Jedi ($620M). Worldwide, Inside Out 2 surpassed Barbie ($1.432B), landing at No. 14 on the global chart.

In its second week, Neon’s “Longlegs” movie brought in $11.7 million at the domestic box office, marking a 48% decrease from its initial earnings. This brought the film’s total domestic revenue to $44.6 million. On the other hand, “Fly Me to the Moon,” produced by Apple and Sony, saw disappointing results in its second week with only $3.3 million earned, representing a significant drop of 65% compared to its first week’s earnings.
