We couldn't do better than a road rage movie?

doubtit

This is incorrect. THE BIG UGLY and THE RENTAL were the first new movies to come out in theaters since they closed down (on July 24).

Oh, let’s start having church service in theaters..

Greedy works.

I'm simply ill with apathy.

But people can't vote in masks safety.

Ahhh, I feel good story that fits right in with the 2020 vibe

Please be on Netflix too.

I don't think I'll ever go back to the theaters. Looking forward to Mulan's release and I'll gladly pay the $30 to sit in my own living room.

The wife and I used to go to the movies at least three times a month. No plans to go in 2020.

I’m curious how they can make a feature film out of such a ridiculous premise.

Is this his autobiography?

Hoping this movie isn't glorifying deadly behavior. The last thing some of our drivers need is a pseudo hero to emulate.

I don't do theaters, but its not because of the China Virus, its because its too expensive.. ill be waiting for the DVD

Thematically, what a TERRIBLE movie to watch for the reopening of theaters. Yeah, let's escape the mania of life...but watch a movie about a white male in a truck going manic bc they got honked at by a lady and now he wants to kill her. C'MON.

I never thought that a revenge/road rage movie staring Maximus, post Gladiator bod would be something that sparked in any way.

Dangit! I thought this was going to be on Netflix. Guess I'll wait til it comes out for rent.

Not in California. Emperor Newsom has decreed his subjects shall have no movies, church, gyms, school or hair cuts until after the election. As it is written, so it shall be.

I’d rather watch my movies at home. I love the movie theater experience but I hate people and no matter how many times I’ve sat inside a movie theater, I rarely ever escaped people.

Yeah, this is just what I want to do right now. Risk my life to go to an AMC to watch Russell Crowe learn how to manage his temper.

Great choice for a new opening movie - really inspiring and uplifting story.

No thanks.

Hollywood is dead...no one cares.

Is this a Trump biography?

I'll let someone else go and tell me all about it. 🙄 MaskUp StayHome SocialDistance COVID COVID19 coronavirus

I don’t think we need our first movie after the pandemic to be something about an angry white guy.

road rage movie induces mask rage in cinemas

People are saying..(not me, but people)... some people.. they’re saying it’ll blow the doors off Avatar... 😂😂😂

It will suck.

The older Russell Crowe gets, the more he looks like John Goodman

Wait for cable - this sounds like a huge movie downer among a ishty year that can't end fast enough!

The preview looked thrilling, scary really.

So it's Unhinged or Smash Mouth for your final outing. Sounds about right.

So if covid is an uncontrolled pandemic how are TV series and films getting made?

Spoiler: It's going to bomb. Next time stream it

A Rage movie? Really?

No vaccine, no going to the movies. Sadly.

Hollywood showing they don't REALLY care about the overall wellbeing of the American public. Promoting more hate.

Idiots.

Are they

The movie you can go to if you want to actually die.

He looks like COVID.

I will probably watch the movie some day, but there is no way I'll be going into theaters, restaurants, or other events for a very long time... if ever.

If your child's University attempted to open or pretended to be planning to open, only to realize later that they must close in-person classes, maybe you should question the intelligence and integrity of the people in charge. Was it a con to get your tuition or was it stupidity?

How is it ok to sit in a confined space for two hours, surrounded by dozens (at least) of other people whose infection status you do not absolutely know for certain? Risk death or extreme sickness, and tens of thousands of dollars in hospitalization bills, to watch a movie?

It will flop.

Yeah, that's not a movie I would risk my life to go see.

russellcrowe FYI

Yeah let's open the theaters back up with a road rage movie....that's so 2020.

If this movie doesn’t make more money than Avengers we can safely assume cinema is gone forever.

Lol, nobody is going to theaters.

And yet no one cares.

Nope.

Hollywood should jus fall into the ocean. Their movies have been junk for years

NPR what are you doin? Like, whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy would you write about sparking hope.

Apt title.

‘Bill & Ted Face the Music’ to Play for Free at Alamo Drafthouse Ahead of Opening DayMost excellent news, film lovers: “Bill & Ted Face the Music” will play free of charge at Alamo Drafthouse cinemas on Aug. 26, the day before it opens in theaters across the country… They look too old. And Keanu looks like he's playing a different character. He's lost the bounce. They should have played them as mature people. Reverse coming of age. Doesn't look good. Hope it is.
