The film, a follow up to the 1996 storm-chasing classic, released in theaters on July 19 with a strong $80.5 million opening. It went on to make more than $370 million globally. “Twisters” was a particularly big hit in specialty theaters — like 4DX, where attendees are blasted by wind, rain and rocked back and forth in their seats.
In addition to Powell and Edgar-Jones, the cast includes Anthony Ramos, Brandon Perea, David Corenswet, Maura Tierney, Sasha Lane and more. It was directed by Lee Isaac Chung and executive produced by Steven Spielberg, Thomas Hayslip and Ashley Jay Sandberg.
Here’s the official logline: “‘Twisters’ brings back the blockbuster disaster epic with a whirlwind of heart-stopping action and exhilarating thrills. Ever since a devastating tornado encounter, Kate (Daisy Edgar-Jones) gave up chasing storms across the Oklahoma prairie to safely study them on screens in New York City. Lured back to the field by her friend Javi (Anthony Ramos) and a once-in-a-lifetime scientific opportunity, Kate crosses paths with Tyler (Glen Powell), a charming daredevil and self-proclaimed tornado wrangler whose thirst for tornado-tracking adventures made him a social media sensation. As storm season intensifies with terrifying phenomena unlike anything seen before, Kate and Tyler realize they may need to work together if they are to have any chance of taming, and surviving, an unprecedented outbreak of destructive tornados.”
