THE HATEFUL EIGHT Gets A Star-Studded Two-Week Roadshow Run Through 2016
Following last week’s updates, The Weinstein Company teased an announcement for Monday over the weekend pertaining to Quentin Tarantino’s The Hateful Eight. That announcement has officially arrived with the roll out of two new announcement videos for its roadshow release of the new movie on Christmas Eve; The roadshow run will last two weeks on 100 screens in 44 markets which will overlap through the new year as the wide digital release commences on January 1 in all markets.

The passengers, bounty hunter John Ruth (Russell) and his fugitive Daisy Domergue (Leigh), race towards the town of Red Rock where Ruth, known in these parts as “The Hangman,” will bring Domergue to justice. Along the road, they encounter two strangers: Major Marquis Warren (Jackson), a black former union soldier turned infamous bounty hunter, and Chris Mannix (Goggins), a southern renegade who claims to be the town’s new Sheriff. Losing their lead on the blizzard, Ruth, Domergue, Warren and Mannix seek refuge at Minnie’s Haberdashery, a stagecoach stopover on a mountain pass. When they arrive at Minnie’s, they are greeted not by the proprietor but by four unfamiliar faces. Bob (Bichir), who’s taking care of Minnie’s while she’s visiting her mother, is holed up with Oswaldo Mobray (Roth), the hangman of Red Rock, cow-puncher Joe Gage (Madsen), and Confederate General Sanford Smithers (Dern). As the storm overtakes the mountainside stopover, our eight travelers come to learn they may not make it to Red Rock after all…
