The closure is expected to affect around 100,000 passengers a day. Filming will take place in the metro tunnel near the Stadionok metro station for a production reportedly starring Arnold Schwarzenegger and Sharon Stone. Endre Bíró, head of the NGO Metro Association, described the complete two-day closure of the busiest section of the M2 as disproportionate, as he argued that the production could have been accommodated elsewhere on the network.
