The highly anticipated second installment of Twisters recently came out on July 19th, 2024, and fans have been loving it. The film already established itself as a success at the box office; however, there’s been a rejuvenation of excitement almost 6 weeks after it was released. Here’s everything you need to know about the Twister wrangling crew’s success.
Twister Franchise
The Twister franchise originally started in 1996 with director Jan de Bont starring Helen Hunt, Bill Paxton, and Jami Gertz. The IMDb synopsis states that the film follows, “Two storm chasers are on the brink of divorce, and they must work together to create an advanced weather alert system by putting themselves in the crosshairs of extremely violent tornadoes.” The initial first installments successfully garnered almost 500 million dollars at the box office with a budget of only 90 million dollars.
The only surprise the franchise has thrown at audiences is why it took 28 years to release another one after such a massive success financially and critically. Regardless of how long it took them to make the second installment of the franchise, they still produced a magnificent product that audiences all around the world love.
Second Storm Success
The second film Twisters hit theaters on July 19th, 2024. During its opening weekend, it had accrued over 80 million dollars at the box office nationally and almost 125 million dollars worldwide. The film did not stop there; Twisters made an amazing turnaround at the box office six weeks after its release. In the face of competitors such as Deadpool and Wolverine, Inside Out 2, and Alien: Romulus, Twisters still managed a huge success. As of right now, the film has made 358 million dollars at the box office worldwide and was created with a budget of 155 million dollars before marketing expenses. So it is fair to say that the film is making a profit.
Audiences anticipated that due to the success of the first installment and the second installment, there would be a third. The third film was even slated for 2026; however, as of August 11th, 2024, the 3rd installment of Twisters has been canceled due to the inability to agree with the studios and actors. Most likely surrounding payment and scheduling. That is not to say that the studio and actors will not come to a conclusion in the future; however, as of right now, there will not be another film.
