Lee Isaac Chung’s standalone sequel of the beloved 1996 film — this time starring Glen Powell, Daisy Edgar-Jones and Anthony Ramos— landed in first place for the weekend, easily surpassing initialindustry tracking figures of about $50 million for the film’s initialouting.
By Meg James, Los Angeles TimesThis image released by Universal Pictures shows Glen Powell, left, and Daisy Edgar-Jones in a scene from"Twisters."
In what’s shaping up to be a summer blockbuster, Edgar-Jones stars in “Twisters” as a storm chaser who had a terrible encounter with a tornado years ago. She seeks refuge working as a scientist in New York City, but her friend, played by Ramos, lures her back to Oklahoma to help test a new tracking system. They cross paths with a thrill-seeking social media influencer, played by Powell, who thrives on posting his dangerous storm-chasing exploits on the internet.
Disaster movies rarely come back, and those that do often end up as disappointments. But the strong performance of “Twisters” left that industry notion in a pile of rubble. “The music was very well received, as you can imagine, and not only by country music fans,” Orr said.
