From Minari’s Lee Isaac Chung, Twisters stars Daisy Edgar-Jones, Glen Powell and Anthony Ramos as a new group of storm chasers who fight a desperate battle as multiple tornadoes converge on central Oklahoma. The original Twister, which starred Helen Hunt, Bill Paxton, Cary Elwes and Philip Seymour Hoffman as storm-chasing scientists attempting to control the most powerful tornado in decades, was a massive hit, grossing nearly $500 million worldwide. It was the second-highest-grossing film of 1996 and was nominated for two Academy Awards.

At the international box office, Universal and Illumination’s sequel “Despicable Me” grossed $52 million in 79 markets. The animated family film grossed $315 million overseas and $574 million worldwide.

Disney’s Pixar sequel Inside Out 2 is another giant of the animated film world, grossing $34.2 million in 51 territories over the weekend. Six weeks after its release, the film has grossed a massive $846.9 million overseas and $1.443 million worldwide.
