‘Twisters’ Breaking Out With Around $7M In Previews – Box Office Early Look
deadline.comEXCLUSIVE: Twisters, the reboot of the 1996 Michael Crichton co-scripted Amblin feature, is off to a good start with around $7M in preview money from both last night’s fan Imax/PLF showtimes and previews which began today at 5PM for the Glen Powell and Daisy Edgar Jones movie.
Reviews and audience response is great respectively at 78% certified fresh and 94% on Rotten Tomatoes. That’s better than the original movie which received drab scores at 67% critics, and 58% audience.
Forecasts were at a $50M+ opening, but with this movie doing business in the heartland, it would not be shocking to see it raise to $60M.
That Wednesday and Thursday preview number if it sticks by tomorrow AM would be ahead of the $6.6M Wednesday/Thursday preview sales posted by 20th Century Studios/Disney’s Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes earlier this summer which debuted to a $22.1M Friday and 3-day of $58.4M.
