When you think of relaxing, you thin of Lionsgate’s Saw franchise, right?

Parques Reunidos, one of the leading leisure park operators in the world, and Lionsgate have reached a strategic agreement to develop Lionsgate branded leisure centres in high traffic shopping areas.

These leisure centres will bring to life some of Lionsgate’s top film and television properties, such as The Hunger Games, the Saw franchise, Now You See Me, Orange is the New Black, and Nashville.

Lionsgate’s global entertainment properties encompass highly recognizable brands such as The Hunger Games, which has grossed nearly $3 billion in worldwide box office and the Saw franchise, one of the highest grossing horror franchises of all time with the next installment slated for release next year.
The development of leisure centres in shopping malls and high traffic shopping areas represents one of the main growth strategies of Parques Reunidos. The company is currently negotiating the development of a total of 20 centres over the coming years, in addition to the five agreements already signed with the Thader Shopping Mall (Murcia), Dolce Vita Tejo (Lisbon), intu Lakeside (London) and the two at Madrid Xanadú that will be ready to open the following months.

Dev Patel’s ‘Monkey Man’ Is Now Available to Watch at Home!

After pulling in $28 million at the worldwide box office this month, director (and star) Dev Patel’s critically acclaimed action-thriller Monkey Man is now available to watch at home.

You can rent Monkey Man for $19.99 or digitally purchase the film for $24.99!

Monkey Man is currently 88% Fresh on Rotten Tomatoes, with Bloody Disgusting’s head critic Meagan Navarro awarding the film 4.5/5 stars in her review out of SXSW back in March.

Meagan raves, “While the violence onscreen is palpable and painful, it’s not just the exquisite fight choreography and thrilling action set pieces that set Monkey Man apart but also its political consciousness, unique narrative structure, and myth-making scale.”

“While Monkey Man pays tribute to all of the action genre’s greats, from the Indonesian action classics to Korean revenge cinema and even a John Wick joke or two, Dev Patel’s cultural spin and unique narrative structure leave behind all influences in the dust for new terrain,” Meagan’s review continues.

She adds, “Monkey Man presents Dev Patel as a new action hero, a tenacious underdog with a penetrating stare who bites, bludgeons, and stabs his way through bodies to gloriously bloody excess. More excitingly, the film introduces Patel as a strong visionary right out of the gate.”

Inspired by the legend of Hanuman, Monkey Man stars Patel as Kid, an anonymous young man who ekes out a meager living in an underground fight club where, night after night, wearing a gorilla mask, he is beaten bloody by more popular fighters for cash. After years of suppressed rage, Kid discovers a way to infiltrate the enclave of the city’s sinister elite. As his childhood trauma boils over, his mysteriously scarred hands unleash an explosive campaign of retribution to settle the score with the men who took everything from him.

Monkey Man is produced by Jordan Peele’s Monkeypaw Productions.
