Road House’s Knockout Debut Breaks Records on Prime Video
Amazon MGM Studios celebrates a historic milestone as Road House, their latest production, delivers a knockout performance on Prime Video, captivating over 50 million viewers worldwide during its first two weekends. This unprecedented achievement solidifies Road House as the studio’s most successful film debut ever on a global scale.
Jennifer Salke, the head of Amazon MGM Studios, expressed her joy, emphasizing the dedication and talent of the entire Road House filmmaking team, led by the exceptional Jake Gyllenhaal. Salke stated, “the groundbreaking, successful debut of Road House is a testament to the hard work and commitment from the entire Road House filmmaking team and the film’s cast led by the phenomenal Jake Gyllenhaal. The world is absolutely loving this entertaining, action-packed ride anchored by the performances of Jake, Conor McGregor, Daniela Melchior, and the rest of our stellar cast. It’s great to see the film taking off with both fans of the iconic original as well as a huge turnout from new audiences. This incredible film is really giving everyone something to talk about, and we couldn’t be more proud!”
Road House is written by Anthony Bagarozzi and Charles Mondry and produced by Joel Silver under the direction of Doug Liman. It follows the journey of Elwood Dalton (Jake Gyllenhaal), a former UFC fighter navigating the gritty underworld of bouncing. Dalton’s background as a former UFC fighter frequently leads him to rely on violence to resolve conflicts. However, beneath this tough exterior, he remains committed to delivering justice to those in need, even if it requires bending the rules. The film promises an electrifying cinematic experience with its action-packed story, eye-catching visuals, and star-studded cast.
Premiering as the opening night film of the 2024 SXSW Film Festival, Road House also celebrated global premieres in London and New York, gracing the covers of prestigious magazines such as New York Magazine, Men’s Health, Total Film, L’Officiel, and GQ Korea.
Additionally, Road House was a proud sponsor of the UFC 299 fight in Las Vegas, further solidifying its presence in the sports entertainment scene.
