Box office News!!
Audiences Don't Seem to Care that 'Reagan' Received Poor Reviews.
As of September 10, 2024, Reagan has grossed $19.3 million worldwide. In the United States and Canada, Reagan was projected to gross $5–7 million from 2,754 theaters in its four-day opening weekend. Among the bigger surprises of the last few weeks, the Reagan continued to draw crowds at the box office as it completed 10 days of release. In its second weekend, the film displayed impressive legs as it retained a spot in the top five and neared an important milestone. The movie tells the story of former President Ronald Reagan's life and political career. Directed by Sean McNamara and starring Dennis Quaid as the 40th President of the United States, Reagan also crept up the rankings of movies based on American Commanders-in-Chief.
It's the film’s audience score that drives business. The movie has earned RT’s newly announced “verified hot” badge of honor, on the strength of its phenomenal 98% audience score. This represents near-universal acclaim from the film’s target crowd, a phenomenon that has previously been observed in movies that are aimed at red state audiences. A couple of years ago, the movie Jesus Revolution went on to earn over $50 million domestically despite a 54% RT score, thanks to a near-perfect 99% audience rating.
From dusty small-town roots, to the glitter of Hollywood, and then on to commanding the world stage, REAGAN is a cinematic journey of overcoming the odds. Told through the voice of Viktor Petrovich, a former KGB agent whose life becomes inextricably linked with Ronald Reagan's when Reagan first caught the Soviets' attention as an actor in Hollywood, this film offers a perspective as unique as it is captivating. Dennis Quaid brings to life a story that transcends the boundaries of a traditional biopic, offering a profound exploration of the enduring impact of the power of one man who overcame the odds, sustained by the love of a woman who supported him in his journey.
Dennis Quad told reporters, "It's become my favorite role I have ever had actually. Reagan was a hero of mine," Quaid told CBN News. "I voted for him twice and he was like, everybody's dad. He was a real heavyweight, and he won the Cold War. It really meant a lot to me in my life for all of us of that generation and for the generations today. And playing him was the challenge of my life."
