This weekend, moviegoers flocked to theaters to witness the thrilling tornado action in the highly-anticipated film 'Twisters,' propelling it to a blockbuster opening. The standalone sequel to the 1996 hit exceeded expectations by raking in an impressive $80.5 million in ticket sales from 4,151 theaters across North America.
Surpassing initial analyst predictions by $30 million, 'Twisters' claimed the title of the biggest opening for a live-action movie this summer. Drawing parallels to last year's 'Oppenheimer,' the film's overperformance can be attributed to its brand recognition and widespread appeal.
