Twisters Reboot Sees Strong Start with $7M in Preview Sales :

“Twisters,” the reboot of the 1996 classic co-written by Michael Crichton, has generated $7 million in preview sales. This includes Wednesday night’s fan Imax/PLF showings and Thursday previews starting at 5 p.m.

Starring Glen Powell and Daisy Edgar-Jones, “Twisters” has received favorable reviews with a 78% critic rating and a 94% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes. These scores surpass the original film’s ratings of 67% from critics and 58% from audiences.

Initial forecasts predicted an opening weekend of over $50 million. With strong performance in the heartland, expectations are rising to $60 million. Glen Powell’s appeal might lead to overperformance.

RelishMix reports a robust social media presence for “Twisters” with a combined reach of 341 million across TikTok, Facebook, X, YouTube, and Instagram. This is 3% higher than comparable action-adventure films.

Warner Bros. is handling overseas distribution for “Twisters.” The film has grossed nearly $13 million from 38 markets. An additional 38 markets, including France, Germany, Italy, Spain, the UK, and China, open this week.

The overseas total is expected to exceed $45 million. Among top domestic openings for environmental disaster movies, “Twisters” aims to join “The Day After Tomorrow” with a $68.7 million opening and “2012” with a $65.2 million debut.

“Twisters” is set to make a significant impact at the box office. Stay tuned for further updates on its performance as the film continues to gain traction.
