Opens today!

WITHOUT BLOOD, directed by Academy Award® winner Angelina Jolie, opens at Regal Metropolitan 14 on Friday, September 18. Additional theaters may be announced in the coming days. The film stars Mexican Oscar® nominees Salma Hayek Pinault and Demián Bichir, alongside acclaimed Argentine actor Juan Minujín and Mexican actor Luis Alberti.

Adapted from Alessandro Baricco’s bestselling novel, WITHOUT BLOOD is an atmospheric drama about the lasting impact of violence and war, centered on two people whose lives were forever connected by a violent event in the past.

With a celebrated Latin American cast at the center of the story, we believe WITHOUT BLOOD will be of particular interest to Latino audiences. We would be grateful if you could share the film’s theatrical opening with your community.
