Alan Ritchson's 'Motor City' Hits PVOD After Weak Box Office
Alan Ritchson's revenge thriller, "Motor City," is gearing up for its release on premium video on demand (PVOD) on Tuesday, August 25, following a lackluster run in theaters. Directed by Potsy Ponciroli, the film debuted on July 24, pulling in $1.6 million from 1,600 theaters in North America during its opening weekend. To date, it has earned $2.7 million domestically and nearly $243,000 internationally, totaling $2.743 million worldwide. With a hefty production budget of $30 million, not including marketing, the R-rated film stars Ritchson as John Miller, a factory worker in 1970s Detroit wrongly accused of drug charges. It has garnered mixed reviews on Rotten Tomatoes, and will be available for $24.99 on platforms like Prime Video and Apple TV.
