Guy Ritchie’s ‘In the Grey’ Opens in Argentina After Strike-Era Waiver

The release probes how a strike waiver model fares after a delayed finish.

Overview

  • Guy Ritchie’s spy thriller opens in Argentine theaters with Lionsgate backing and Diamond as the local distributor.
  • Henry Cavill, Jake Gyllenhaal, and Eiza González play a covert team sent to recover a billion-dollar fortune from a despot portrayed by Carlos Bardem.
  • Filming continued during Hollywood’s strikes under a special authorization from the actors’ union, turning the project into a high-profile exception to halted shoots.
  • The production is reported at about $100 million and was shot largely in Spain’s Canary Islands, signaling a large-scale, location-heavy approach.
  • Early Argentine reviews diverge, with LA NACION deeming it a bland, formulaic thriller as Clarín praises its brisk pace and cast work.
