In 1996, Twister, starring Helen Hunt and Bill Paxton, was a huge hit and blew audiences away with its spectacular depiction of storms. It took 28 years to make a sequel, but it looked like a real tornado when it hit.
Twisters, directed by Lee Isaac Chung, is a standalone sequel to the previous film. It follows former storm chaser Kate Cooper (Daisy Edgar-Jones) and social media star Tyler Owens (Glen Powell) as they find themselves caught in the middle of multiple storm systems converging on central Oklahoma.
The film, packed with thrilling action and extravagant special effects, is a smash hit that has won over audiences. The cinema is the best place to catch this mind-blowing spectacle, but if you’re curious to know when Twisters will be available at home, keep reading our guide.
How to watch Twisters now
The shocking disaster film is now available exclusively in cinemas.

UK viewers can get tickets from Cineworld, Odeon and Vue.
Here is the trailer for the film:
When could Twisters be released on VOD?
Universal Pictures and Warner Bros., who co-produced Twisters, have yet to reveal any information about the film’s digital release. However, we’ll take a stab at predicting when the film might hit VOD platforms.
Twisters is a box office smash, so it’s very likely that Universal won’t rush its digital release. The studio’s most successful releases tend to hit VOD a month and a half to two months after their theatrical release.
However, 2023’s box office hit Oppenheimer arrived digitally four months after its theatrical release.
If Twisters doesn’t delay its digital release, it could happen early or mid-September 2024. However, if he follows the same pattern as Oppenheimer, he might not arrive until November 2024.
When we know more, we will update this article.
When could Twisters be released on DVD/Blu-ray?
Physical copies of Universal’s most successful films typically hit stores a month or two after the digital release.
Interestingly, Oppenheimer was released on DVD and Blu-Ray on the same day as VOD. If Universal wanted to wait longer to bring Twisters to home media, they could also combine the two releases.
In both scenarios, physical copies of Twisters could hit stores by late fall 2024.

When could Twisters be released on streaming services?
In the United States, Twisters, distributed by Universal Pictures, will first air on Peacock.
However, in Europe and the UK, the film is being distributed by Warner Bros. This means that in Europe, Twisters will arrive on Max, while UK-based viewers will be able to watch it on Sky Cinema and Now.
As of now, there’s no word on when the movie will be available to stream. Based on previous releases, we’re estimating that it could happen about a month and a half after the DVD release. So, Twisters could be released on Peacock, Max, and Now in November/December 2024.
However, if we take Oppenheimer’s example, the film might not be released on streaming platforms until 2025.
