Two Wide releases this weekend, and the biggie is the sequel 28 years in the making, Twisters (picked by 31 players). The original made $241M in 1996 off a $41M opening. This one is projected at an opening just shy of $70M, but that might be a bit conservative after an $11M start in Thursday’s showings and an A- CinemaScore.
