The action movie legend from the 80s, Bruce Willis has been suffering from Frontotemporal Dementia, leading to his early retirement from Hollywood. Making fans sad with this announcement, the actor went on to carry on his life with his family, under intense care.
But now Bruce Willis’ legacy will get celebrated all over again, as his 1988 movie Die Hard returns to theatres. While fans have often debated whether it’s a Christmas movie or not, AMC’s announcement of bringing back Die Hard during the time of Christmas appears to have solved the argument.
Bruce Willis’ Die Hard is Returning to Theatres
Originally released in 1988, Die Hard featuring Bruce Willis is one of the most renowned action flicks of all time. Earning a massive fanbase with its initial release, the movie later turned into a franchise, as producers tried capitalizing on the success of the first film. And certainly, so, Willis’ Die Hard movies became an epic hit.
Over the years, Bruce Willis has served his fans with incredible hits and turned into a Hollywood A-lister. But in 2023, the actor got diagnosed with Frontotemporal Dementia, which wrecked his life and career almost instantly. Forcing him to retire, the actor canceled all movies and put an end to his legacy.
Although the announcement of his retirement was severely heartbreaking for fans, AMC eased it, when they announced their decision to bring Die Hard back to the theatres. Thus, according to reports, Bruce Willis’ 1988 movie is coming back to theaters for this year’s Christmas season, on December 8th.
Fans Are Hyped to Watch the Movie During Christmas

But now, years of argument come to an end with AMC announcing Die Hard‘s return to the theatres for the Christmas season. Turning it into a limited-time holiday movie, AMC theatres went ahead to celebrate Bruce Willis’ legacy.
Following the news of AMC bringing back Die Hard, fans are hyped to enjoy the movie during the holiday season, with friends and family.

Tbh theatres should do more showings of old films. It would honestly help reintroduce them to a new generation and hopefully ease up on the overkill of remakes
