While Christopher Nolan’s “Tenet” is determined to be the first new major tentpole film back in cinemas as they open up, the Russell Crowe-led thriller “Unhinged” is determined to be the first new film release of any type to greet people upon cinema re-openings.
Today, the film has been pushed back to an August 21st release date – meaning it will hit a week-and-a-half before “Tenet” opens in select U.S. theaters for the Labor Day weekend.
The film follows Rachel (Caren Pistorius who) is running late getting to work when she crosses paths with a stranger (Russell Crowe) at a traffic light. Soon, Rachel finds herself and everyone she loves the target of a man who feels invisible and is looking to make one last mark upon the world by teaching her a series of deadly lessons. What follows is a dangerous game of cat and mouse.
In a rather prideful press release today, Solstice Studios says this will be the first “new wide release in American movie theaters since they shut down in March due to COVID-19”.
John Fithian, President and CEO of the National Association of Theater Owners, was happy to help tubthump the film saying: “On behalf of the U.S. exhibition community, I want to thank Solstice Studios for their commitment to bringing Unhinged to theaters, and for doing their part to help reinvigorate the theatrical movie business.”
