The film, which has performed well at the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/9-box-office-duds-that-became-cult-classics\/\" title=\"9 Box Office Duds That Became Cult Classics\">box office<\/a>, grossing over $30 million since its Labor Day release, received an &#8220;A&#8221; audience\u200c rating on CinemaScore. It is already available for digital purchase on platforms like Amazon and Apple TV. <\/p>\n<p>Dennis Quaid, who \u200bportrays Ronald \u200dReagan, expressed his enjoyment of \u200bportraying the former president and noted the \u2063film&#8217;s comprehensive representation of Reagan&#8217;s life. The cast also includes \u2064Penelope Ann Miller \u200cas Nancy Reagan and Jon \u200cVoight as a former KGB agent framing the narrative around Reagan&#8217;s role in the Cold War.
