Twisters Press Tour Measured F-5 on the Brisket Scale
The dog, weaponizing brat summer, and Daisy Edgar-Jones’s outfits contributed to box office history.
Note to every Hollywood marketing team manufacturing a successful press tour: get the hot guy to bring his dog. After scoring a strong box office tally in Wednesday and Thursday previews, Twisters beat every industry prediction, even the high $60 million one, and racked in a historic $80.5 million in its opening weekend. With a pile of cash like that, Daisy Edgar-Jones and Glen Powell’s tornado-chasing sequel set the record for the highest-grossing opening weekend by any disaster movie, ever. While there’s plenty for factors for why audiences bothered to get their butts in seats for Powell’s v-line good humor or Edgar-Jones’s Oklahoma accent attempt, we’re sure they were amused by the press tour. Powell brought his self-described nepo baby, Brisket the Dog, along for the ride. The pup, who the actor adopted while filming the flick, killed us with cuteness as he growled at co-star Anthony Ramos or licked a nose on the red carpet. Elsewhere during the Twisters media blitz, interviews and TikToks stole the show. Here’s our favorite moments:
