‘Twisters’ tops North American box office with $80M in earnings

Twisters is the No. 1 movie in North America, earning $80 million in its opening weekend.  Twisters had the third biggest opening weekend of 2024, surpassing “Godzilla vs. Kong” ($80 million), but behind “Inside Out 2” ($154 million) and “Dune: Part Two” ($82 million).

BoxOfficeMojo revealed that the Top 5 included Despicable Me 4 coming in at No. 2 with $23.8 million, followed by Inside Out 2 at No. 3 with $12.8 million, Longlegs at No. 4 with $11.7 million and A Quiet Place: Day One at No. 5 with $6.1 million.

Universal Domestic Distribution Boss Jim Orr said in a statement: “Lee Isaac Chung crafted an incredibly engaging summer tentpole in Twisters that is, and it has to be said, taking the domestic box office by storm this weekend. Our magnetic and hard-working cast, led by Glen Powell, Daisy Edgar-Jones, and Anthony Ramos, bring this tense tale to life, a story that must be seen on a big movie screen in a darkened theater where the immersive sound and visuals transport audiences directly into the fury and destructive power of these storms.” (per Deadline).
