Keanu Reeves is never far from a box office hit. John Wick himself has been a part of many a high-profile theatrical project over recent years, with that set to continue in 2027 when he reprises his role as Shadow the Hedgehog in Sonic the Hedgehog 4, following his debut in the third installment. Right now, Reeves' Duke Caboom has joined the likes of Woody (Tom Hanks), Buzz (Tim Allen), and Jessie (Joan Cusack) in Toy Story 5, which looks set to become the third film of 2026 to hit the $1 billion mark at the box office.
But this 2020s run of form for Reeves simply wouldn't have been possible without those early films that would go on to define his career. Without SpeedandThe Matrix, there would be no John Wick, but without the 1991 cult classicPoint Break, there would be no Speed or The Matrix. Starring Reeves as FBI Agent Johnny Utah, alongside the likes of Patrick Swayze, Lori Petty, and Gary Busey, this adrenaline-fueled action thriller went on to define the genre in the '90s.
Directed by Kathryn Bigelow and written by W. Peter Iliff, Point Break is still a fond favorite of many, and now it's got the chance to capture the love of a whole new generation. It's been officially confirmed that, in celebration of the film's 35th anniversary, Point Break will return to theaters nationwide on August 16 and 19 in the form of a new 4 K restoration released by Resurgence Media Group, Saga Arts, and Fathom Entertainment. Surfer Matt Archbold, who served as Swayze's surf double, will present an exclusive introduction ahead of the film. In a statement, Shannah Miller, the vice president of marketing at Fathom Entertainment, said:
"Few films have built a following as loyal as Point Break’s. Thirty-five years after it first hit theaters, this newly restored 4K version gives that devoted following exactly what they’ve been asking for: Bodhi, Johnny Utah and those legendary surfing and skydiving sequences, back where they belong on the big screen."
How Much Did 'Point Break' Make at the Box Office?
Point Break didn't exactly make waves at the 1991 box office, but it can still be considered a success. Against a reported production budget of $24 million, the movie returned a global haul of $83 million, split between $43 million in domestic revenue and a further $40 million from overseas markets. The movie opened in fourth place on the U.S. charts at a time when Terminator 2: Judgment Daywas dominating the competition.
Point Break is returning to the big screen. Stay tuned to Collider for more.
