These releases come at a crucial time for the exhibition industry, as the market is in desperate need of new content to attract audiences.
Directed by JJ Perry and based on the book by Jay R. Bonansinga, “The Killer’s Game” follows the story of hitman Joe Flood, played by Bautista, who receives a devastating terminal illness diagnosis. Faced with his impending mortality, Flood decides to take matters into his own hands by putting a hit out on himself.

To save his loved one, Flood must confront a deadly army of fellow hitmen and fight for his life. The film promises intense action and a gripping storyline that will keep audiences on the edge of their seats.
On Oct. 18, audiences can look forward to the release of “Flight Risk,” a high-stakes thriller written by Jared Rosenberg and produced by Mel Gibson.
