Our Take On The Love Hurts Streaming Release Date
It Could Help The Movie Make A Splash
In addition toLove Hurtspotentially becoming a recurring holiday favorite, it has been given a release date that is well-timed to help it make a splash during its streaming debut. It comes during a relatively quiet period for theaters, as the second weekend ofThunderbolts*has prevented there from being any major incoming wide-release titles outside of the slasher movieClown in a Cornfield. With relatively few new theatrical offerings available,audiences may be encouraged to look toward what’s new on streaming that weekend and find the action-comedyat the perfect time.
