Release: Driving Around the Time

Driving Around the Time
Genre: Sci-Fi/Drama
Director: Duncan Jones
Writer: Meirad Tako
Cast: Hugh Jackman, Dev Patel, Anthony Hopkins, Max Records





Budget: $45,000,000
Domestic Box Office: $33,902,332
Foreign Box Office: $66,378,423
Total Profit: $26,745,113

Reaction: Pretty solid numbers for a genre film that lacks action and special effects to center the marketing around. This is another success for Duncan Jones as a director. All four films he's directed for the studio now have been profitable.


"I am not ashamed to say I have no idea how to describe Driving Around the Time. Anthony Hopkins travels in time after Hugh Jackman to stop him from doing something, but I'm not sure what. The characters in the film appear to have goals, the problem is that the script never really lets us know what they may be." - Tim Durand, San Francisco Chronicle

"If you turn your brain off there is enjoyment to be had with this film. It's nice to see Anthony Hopkins in a lead role again. The film will keep you entertained, even if you're simply sitting there trying to figure out what the hell is going on." - Tony Klesko, San Diego Union-Tribune

"There is a decent, albeit played-out, idea at the heart of the film about the consequences of changing the past. But it has been done far better than the version Driving Around the Time has to offer." - Mike Stotts, Portland Tribune

Rated PG-13 for violence
