Twisters has smashed it at the box office and exceeded every expectation of the industry. Glen Powell’s movie surpassed 2004’s The Day After Tomorrow’s debut numbers to have the biggest opening weekend in North America ever. The film did exceptionally well at the global box office, mainly because of the collection on the domestic turf. Keep scrolling for more.
The 2004 movie, directed by Roland Emmerich, featured Jake Gyllenhaal and Denis Quaid in crucial roles. The official synopsis stated, “Jack Hall, paleoclimatologist, must make a daring trek from Washington, D.C., to New York City to reach his son, trapped in the crosshairs of a sudden international storm that plunges the planet into a new Ice Age.”
The Day After Tomorrow, however, had a much lower score than Twisters on Rotten Tomatoes. Jake Gyllenhaal‘s movie received 45% on the Tomatometer and a mere 50% Audience Score. Meanwhile, Glean Powell and Daisy Edgar-Jones’ movie is 78% Certified Fresh and has an Audience Score of 92%. It topped the domestic box office chart on its debut weekend, crushing the industry’s predictions with a huge $80.5 million opening weekend.

For the unversed, it is the stand-alone sequel to the 1996 movie Twister, which reportedly earned $41.1 million on its debut weekend in North America, and the latest release has raked in almost double that amount.
