The Jon Gunn directorial was originally released in theaters on February 23, 2024. It is inspired by events that took place during the 1994 North American cold wave.

The cast includes Hilary Swank\u00a0as Sharon, Alan Ritchson\u00a0as Ed, Emily Mitchell as Michelle, Skywalker Hughes<\/a>\u00a0as Ashley, Nancy Travis\u00a0as Barbara, and Tamala Jones\u00a0as Rose, among others.<\/p>\n

Marissa Hill of Shade Studios<\/a> reported, \u201cOrdinary Angels\u00a0is an inspiring and emotionally rich film about the power of community, redemption, and the extraordinary ways ordinary people rise to the occasion in times of crisis.\u201d\u00a0She also praised Swank\u2019s performance, noting that it \u201cprovides the emotional core of the film, and the performances across the board elevate the material.\u201d<\/p>\n

The movie also performed moderately at the box office. Its worldwide collection stood at $20.5 million (via Box Office Mojo<\/a>). <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Alan Ritchson\u2019s 2024 movie Ordinary Angels is set to arrive for streaming on Peacock later this month, bringing…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":510075,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[27],"tags":[59215,96,949,30263,178542,2839,178543,15405,3842,56,54,55],"class_list":{"0":"post-510074","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-movies","8":"tag-alan-ritchson","9":"tag-entertainment","10":"tag-entertainment-news","11":"tag-hilary-swank","12":"tag-jon-gunn","13":"tag-movies","14":"tag-ordinary-angels","15":"tag-peacock","16":"tag-streaming","17":"tag-uk","18":"tag-united-kingdom","19":"tag-unitedkingdom"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/510074","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=510074"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/510074\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/510075"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=510074"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=510074"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=510074"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
