Unhinged has earned $4.06 million in North America during its first weekend of release in the U.S., according to Comscore. The Russell Crowe-starring road rage-thriller is the first major release to arrive in American cinemas since the coronavirus outbreak began.

In the Derrick Borte-directed film, Crowe plays a disturbed individual who terrorizes a mother and her young son, portrayed by Caren Pistorius and Gabriel Batemen, after an altercation at a traffic light.




The film was originally set to debut on screens on Aug. 28 but in May the film's production company, the recently-formed Solstice Films, brought the release date forward to July 1 to make the movie the first new film available to watch in cinemas.

As the coronavirus continued to spread, and spike, the release of Unhinged was delayed on several occasions.
