The Kellys Should Get A Lot Of Traction When Released

I am a little surprised that Amazon MGM is not setting this up to hit theaters before going to streaming. They have committed to theaters more than any other studio with a streaming service and have found major box-office success this year. Project Hail Mary and The Sheep Detectives both did very well, and Masters of the Universe, even with its bloated budget, should see a nice return worldwide when merchandise and brand collaborations are factored in. The Kellys have the kind of star power that can power a theatrical release; they would be crazy not to take advantage of that.

It will be good to see Arnold give it one last go in a couple of films these next few years. Not only does he have this in the pipeline, but he is returning to one of his most iconic roles. It seems like this one will combine everything we liked about an Arnold film: humor, action, and a large ensemble cast. He also worked with Amazon MGM on the holiday film The Man With The Bag, directed by Adam Shankman. The Kellys is now in production with no release date known.
