Summary
September will bring a wider rerelease of “Reagan” in 600 theaters, after limited July 4 screenings in more than a dozen cities tied to the U.S. 250th anniversary.
10 minutes of restored footage drive the new cut, including added scenes with Nancy Reagan in the Oval Office, Reagan’s father Jack, and the family ranch near Santa Barbara.
Director Sean McNamara said the rerelease lets audiences see favorite scenes that were previously left on the cutting-room floor.
More than $30 million in worldwide box office from the original run gives the film a commercial base for the return, despite a sharp Rotten Tomatoes split of 17% from critics versus 98% from audiences.
