It's doing bad but then ok-ish so I'm actually impressed with that slight acceleration of money and its staying power...so far that is
Also its the 'Summer Season' so more people have time to go to the cinema
but to put it in perceptive back in 1996 you had ID4 or Independence Day, The Rock, Nutty Professor, Ransom, The Birdcage, A Time to Kill, 101 Dalmatians Walt Disney Studios M-Pictures, The First Wives Club, MissionImpossible, ...and the original of Twisters came in 2nd place against ID4

These $9 Million Monday and $12 Million cheap seat Tuesday numbers after that opening weekend is expected and do not detract from my predictions on the failure of this movie.
If you look at the chart for it at The-Numbers.com, it is trending toward the high end for "legs" this week, but there's no indication that it is going to ever outperform that trending.

The only thing that saves this movie is if the International audience changes its mind and goes out in droves to watch it this week and weekend. Because right now we're already 6 days into its release and we're still only 80% of the Production Budget. And it had a full week's head start in half of the international territories, but it still only managed $43 Million in all that time.
The only movie last year I can recall that got less than 80% of the Production Budget back on opening weekend and still made a profit was Universal's kid's movie Migration.
This loses $100 Million for Universal for sure, but I'm leaning more toward $200 Million when it's all done.

LOL! 
Twisters is done.
Deadpool and Wolverine came out on Friday and made $96 Million with $38 Million of that being from Preview Thurdsay.
Meanwhile, Twisters made $10 Million on Friday, a 68% drop from opening weekend, and less money than it pulled in on Tuesday and Wednesday.
So far, Twisters has only made $176 Million worldwide in 8 days and Deadpool and Wolverine has already made $211 Million worldwide in only 1 day.
Twisters was already going to lose a ton of money for Universal, but it just got murdered because of the release schedule.

It will certainly lose more than $100 Million. It won't lose $200 Million.
But I'm still leaning "more towards".
$290,710,784 Worldwide as of this morning, with around $4 Million in the US last night.
I haven't heard a whole lot about this one, but what little I have has actually been pretty good. This one isn't going to die because of the reasons all the films that died in 2023 did, but it's just a matter of spending far, far too much.
Had Twisters been made on a $100 Million budget it would have already had $50 million or more profit in the bag.

It's the little movie that could.
Twisters is still going to lose a ton of money, but it keeps closing the gap.
$333,539,000 Worldwide off a $9.8 Million 5th weekend.
The "More towards" $200 Million prediction is already wrong. I don't think it's still got more than $67 Million left in it to put it under $100 Million in losses, but it's made a hell of a lot more than Ghostbusters did, which was something I was questioning if it would even be able to do when the budget was announced.

Sign was posted - this film has flashy lights which might cause seizures.

I finally saw this in cinema.
I did enjoy it, but I can't recall if the first plotline was the same as this one.
IIRC, the first one was a love story, or love triangle story, with tornadoes as the setting.
This might be considered similar, but with less romancy stuff.
I've seen the 2 leads in other films. Plus Maura Tierney.
