Following Paramount’s shifting of its release schedule plans today, Lionsgate has now moved in and slotted John Woo’s “Silent Night” for a December 1st release.
The project marks Woo’s first American theatrical movie in twenty years, the last being 2003’s “Paycheck,” and stars Joel Kinnaman in a feature that uniquely has no dialogue throughout its runtime.
Kinnaman plays a tormented father who sees his young son die in the crossfire of gang warfare, violence that injures him in a way that costs him his voice. He sets out to avenge his son’s death.
Scott Mescudi, Harold Torres, and Catalina Sandino Moreno co-star in the film which takes the post-Black Friday weekend slot, opening opposite Jeff Nichols’ “The Bikeriders” and MGM’s wide expansion of Emerald Fennell’s “Saltburn”.
That’s not the only move today as the upcoming biopic “Bob Marley: One Love” has pushed back its wide release by a month from January 12th to February 14th.
The Reinaldo Marcus Green-helmed film centers on the artist’s political activism and the making of his ninth studio album. Kingsley Ben-Adir plays the man.
Also today, Max has announced that “The Meg 2: The Trench” will be coming to its service on September 29th – less than two months after its release in theaters.
