With Critics, In Theaters & On VOD
The motorcycle drama premiered at the Telluride Film Festival back in August 2023, whereThe Bikeridersreviewspraised the filmfor its compelling cast and the raw authenticity of director Jeff Nichols' style, delivering a traditional yet powerful portrayal of motorcycle culture in America. With these positive reviews and an 81% score on Rotten Tomatoes,The Bikeridersstill has a chance to receive some attention this coming awards season, especially since many of its cast members – Butler, Hardy, and Shannon – have been nominated for Oscars before.
After premiering to positive reviews at Telluride, the movie’s theatrical release became complicated. It was initially set for a theatrical release in December 2023 by 20th Century Studios, though after delays due to the actors strike, the Disney division dropped the drama entirely. Focus Features eventually obtained the distribution rights, and released it in theaters on June 21. These release struggles didn’t help the film’s chances in theaters, andThe Bikeridersappears to have been a financial failure, making $34.4 million at the box office on an estimated $30-40 million budget.
