KNOXVILLE, Tenn.,
July 15,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- On July
19, Universal Pictures releases the summer
blockbuster Twisters, spotlighting the awe-inducing
power of tornadoes and the individuals who seek to better
understand these severe storms. During the opening weekend of
Twisters, Regal invites all guests to round up their box
office and concessions purchases with 100% of all donations going
to support American Red Cross Disaster Relief.
"Regal is proud to partner with Universal Pictures and the
American Red Cross to support the relief efforts from severe
weather events wherever they may occur," said Richard Grover, Head of Marketing at Regal. "The
release of Twisters will give our employees and guests an
opportunity to assist communities who may face the real-world
consequences of a similarly devastating storm."
The mission of the American Red Cross is to prevent and
alleviate human suffering in the face of emergencies by mobilizing
the power of volunteers and the generosity of donors. While
Twisters focuses on the destructive power of tornadoes
affecting the Great Plains region of the U.S., the American Red
Cross is often the first organization to offer disaster relief in
the wake of these storms, as well as hurricanes, wildfires, floods,
and countless other crises.
In partnership with Universal Pictures' release of
Twisters, moviegoers are encouraged to visit their local
Regal theatre from July 19-21 to
round up their box office and concessions purchases to support
American Red Cross Disaster Relief. Proceeds from all round up
donations for all movies this weekend will assist the American Red
Cross in providing generous support for preparation, response, and
recovery efforts for disasters both big and small. The Regal
Foundation will also donate to the American Red Cross in support of
this fundraising effort. For tickets and showtimes to
Twisters, please visit us in the Regal app or online at

About Twisters
This summer, the epic
studio disaster movie returns with an adrenaline-pumping,
big-screen thrill ride that puts you in direct contact with one of
nature's most wondrous—and destructive—forces.
From the producers of the Jurassic and
Bourne films comes a current-day chapter of the
1996 blockbuster, Twister. Directed by Oscar nominee
Lee Isaac Chung (Minari),
Twisters stars Daisy
Edgar-Jones, Glen Powell and
Anthony Ramos as equal forces, with
opposing motivations, who come together to try to predict, and
possibly tame, the immense power of tornadoes.
Edgar-Jones stars as Kate Carter,
a former storm chaser haunted by a devastating encounter with a
tornado during her college years who now studies storm patterns on
screens safely in New York City. She is lured back to the open
plains by her friend, Javi (Ramos) to test a groundbreaking
new tracking system. There, she crosses paths with Tyler Owens (Powell), the charming and reckless
social-media superstar who thrives on posting his storm-chasing
adventures with his raucous crew, the more dangerous the
better.
As storm season intensifies, terrifying phenomena are unleashed,
and Kate, Tyler, Javi and their crews find themselves squarely in
the paths of multiple storm systems converging over central
Oklahoma in the fight of their
lives.
