RedBox has obtained North American rights to the upcoming gritty drama Johnny & Clyde coming to theaters later this year. With this new deal, the film will be available day-and-date in Redbox kiosks and on demand. The film stars Avan Jogia, Ajani Russell, and Megan Fox among others.
“Fans of dark, gritty action movies are going to love Johnny & Clyde,” said Galen Smith, CEO, Redbox. “Tom has created a film that will have fans on the edge of their seats. We’re looking forward to releasing the film later this year.”
This marks the latest move in what is now the norm to have theatrical releases launch on streaming the same day as their premieres, something fueled by the pandemic which has proven to be a popular route.
Johnny & Clyde is a spin on the iconic Bonnie and Clyde story and follows two serial killers (Avan Jogia, Ajani Russell) who are madly in love and on a shocking crime spree. They ultimately set their sights on robbing a prosperous casino run by a crime boss, Alana (Megan Fox), and her head of security, Guy (Tyson Ritter). Rounding out the cast is Vanessa Angel (Kingpin), Bai Ling (The Crow), Robert LaSardo (The Mule), Armen Garo (The Departed), Sean Ringgold (American Gangster), Nick Principe (Vault), Brett Azar (Young Rock), Sydney Jenkins (Don’t Look Up), and Charles W. Harris III (Glass).
