DVD, Blu-ray & 4K: TWISTERS and TWISTERS DOUBLE FEATURE

BUY FROM AMAZON

Product Description: Get swept up in two adrenaline-pumping blockbuster disaster epics with the Twisters Double Feature. The heart-stopping action and exhilarating thrills begin with Academy Award®-nominated Twister (1996). When two scientists (Helen Hunt and Bill Paxton) pursue the most destructive weather front to tear through Tornado Alley in almost 50 years, they must risk their lives to collect life-saving data by putting themselves squarely in the twisters' deadly paths. In Twisters (2024), scientist and former storm-chaser Kate (Daisy-Edgar Jones) is lured back to the Oklahoma prairie by her friend Javi (Anthony Ramos) for a once-in-a-lifetime scientific opportunity. Kate crosses paths with Tyler (Glen Powell), a charming daredevil and self-proclaimed tornado wrangler who she must work with if the two have any chance of taming, and surviving, an unprecedented outbreak of destructive tornados.

Weekend Box-Office: ALIEN ROMULUS Dethrones DEADPOOL & WOLVERINE With $42 Million Debut

While no other new releases made it into the Top 10, the 2009 animated film "Coraline" was re-released in theaters for its 15th anniversary and delivered one of the stronger box-office performances of the week.

Weekend Box Office: DEADPOOL & WOLVERINE Shatters Records With $211 Million Debut

Everybody expected "Deadpool & Wolverine" to be huge, but it ended up blowing everyone's expectations out of the water along with several records. While superhero fatigue is a real concern for studios these days, this movie proved that the right formula of characters and actors can still bring people to theaters. The MCU has now become the first film franchise to cross the $30 billion mark worldwide across 34 titles. The newly released female-driven comedy "The Fabulous Four", however, tanked under the pressure of so many high-grossing summer blockbusters and animated movies.
