‘Upcoming Release: Find Out When ‘Twisters’ Will Be Available on Digital and Peacock’
The highly anticipated movie “Twisters” featuring a star-studded cast including Daisy Edgar-Jones, Glen Powell, and Anthony Ramos is set to make a big splash in theaters this weekend. Directed by Lee Isaac Chung, “Twisters” serves as a standalone sequel to the 1996 blockbuster “Twister” starring Bill Paxton and Helen Hunt.
In this new installment, Daisy Edgar-Jones portrays Kate Carter, a meteorologist and former storm chaser who embarks on a journey from Oklahoma to New York City to escape a tragic past. Ramos plays Javi, who persuades Kate to return to Oklahoma to assist his weather company in dealing with a series of deadly tornadoes wreaking havoc across the state. Powell takes on the role of Tyler Owens, known as “The Tornado Wrangler,” a daring storm chaser with a popular YouTube channel documenting his adrenaline-fueled escapades.
“Twisters” made its unofficial debut with fan screenings in IMAX and Premium Large Format on Wednesday, and will continue with Thursday night previews before its official nationwide theatrical release on Friday, showing on over 4,000 screens including IMAX and PLF screens.
While the initial viewing option for “Twisters” is in theaters, the film will eventually arrive on streaming platforms. As a Universal Pictures and Warner Bros. co-production distributed domestically by Universal, “Twisters” will first become available on Peacock, NBC Universal’s subscription streaming service. Peacock holds the primary streaming rights for all films from Universal Pictures and Focus Features, promising a future streaming release for “Twisters.”
For fans eager to catch “Twisters” online, the movie will initially be accessible through premium video on demand services before its streaming debut on Peacock. Typically, new PVOD titles can be purchased or rented on digital platforms like Prime Video, AppleTV+, VUDU, and Google Play for a specified fee.
The success of “Twisters” at the box office will influence its digital streaming timeline. If the movie performs well, it may follow a similar pattern to previous Universal releases, with a potential PVOD release occurring a few weeks after its theatrical premiere.
Industry projections suggest a strong opening for “Twisters,” with estimates indicating significant earnings both domestically and internationally. As the film’s box office performance unfolds, viewers can anticipate its eventual availability on PVOD and Peacock based on established release patterns for Universal Pictures releases.
In conclusion, while “Twisters” promises an exciting cinematic experience in theaters, fans can look forward to its digital streaming debut on Peacock and other platforms in the near future.
