Theater plans to open safely across the United States will comply with all state public health department guidelines and are expected to include such measures as socially distant seating (capacities of 25-50%), staggered show times to reduce crowding, and more time between each show to allow for increased cleaning.
"We made this decision after extensive consultation with the National Association of Theater Owners and leading theater chains," said Mark Gill, President and CEO of Solstice Studios, which produced and will release the film in the U.S. "Those conversations have convinced us there is a way to meet pent up demand for the theatrical experience safely."
Unhinged is a psychological thriller starring Academy Award-winner Russell Crowe from Carl Ellsworth, the writer of Red Eye and Disturbia and Lisa Ellzey, the producer of Warrior and Kingdom of Heaven. It takes an ordinary, everyday incident to its most terrifying conclusion in telling the story of a mother who leans on her horn at the wrong time, to the wrong guy.
