With a successful debut, releasing in several formats and accumulating a praiseworthy box office collection, Twisters made a name for itself in the catalog of modern disaster genre films. Directed by Lee Isaac Chung and written by Joseph Kosinski. Before the film premiered it was revealed that the film was not a reboot, but a standalone movie focusing on a new generation of storm chasers.
Twisters premiered on July 8, 2024, at the Cineworld Leicester Square in London and later debuted in the U.S. on July 19, 2024. While the regular format offered an impressive viewing experience, the 4DX format took it to another level, fully immersing the audience in the heart of the storm with its dynamic, sensory effects.
