The new film 'Twisters,' directed by Lee Isaac Chung, has made a significant impact at the box office, earning over $80 million in its opening weekend and surpassing $100 million in total domestic earnings. The film, a sequel to the 1996 classic 'Twister,' features stars Glen Powell and Daisy Edgar-Jones and has been praised for its engaging storyline and impressive visual effects. It was filmed in various locations across Oklahoma and has been noted for its incorporation of realistic meteorological elements, with some scenes created using jet engines and water tanks. The movie's soundtrack, featuring original country music, has also contributed to its success. However, the film's ending has sparked discussions among audiences, particularly regarding a cut kiss scene between the main characters, which director Chung explained was a deliberate choice to enhance the narrative. As 'Twisters' continues to perform well, it joins a summer lineup of successful sequels, including 'Inside Out 2' and 'Despicable Me 4.'
