Dennis Quaid and Penelope Ann Miller posing as Ronald and Nancy Reagan in the biopic Reagan.
Retaining a spot in the top 10 of the domestic box office list this weekend, its fourth, the quietly resilient Reagan passed a new benchmark. Not only did the film — it’s based on the life of the 40th President of the United States — pass the $25 million milestone domestically, it overtook the lifetime earnings of another presidential biopic, W. Reagan is directed by Sean McNamara and stars Dennis Quaid in the titular role.
Each of these three presidential-themed movies — Reagan, W, and Frost/Nixon — was produced on reported budgets of $25 million. The latter two concluded their global runs with under $30 million, which seems like an achievable target for Reagan as well. This wouldn’t exactly qualify it as a bona fide hit, but distributors ShowBiz Direct can perhaps take solace in its excellent audience response, which stands in stark contrast to its poor critical reviews.
