The movie “Road House”, a modern version of the 1989 cult classic, has broken the all-time record for Prime Video within its first two weeks, pulling in a massive 50 million viewers globally, according to an announcement from the company. Starring Jake Gyllenhaal and former UFC two-division champion Conor McGregor, the film made its debut on direct streaming on March 21st, much to the dismay of director Doug Liman.
Jennifer Salke, the head of Amazon MGM Studios, praised the hard work and dedication of the entire filmmaking team and cast of “Road House”, especially highlighting Jake Gyllenhaal’s performance. Salke expressed her joy in seeing the film attract such a large and positive audience, resonating not just with fans of the original version but also with new viewers. She commended the cast for delivering an entertaining and action-packed movie that has captured global attention.
Conor McGregor, aged 35, is anticipated to make a comeback to the UFC later this year, with a potential matchup against former Ultimate Fighter 31 coach Michael Chandler. While the exact timing and location of the fight remain unknown, McGregor is optimistic about a high-profile pay-per-view event in Las Vegas on June 29th. He confidently stated, “I’m here.”
