Much has been written
this summer about the big “Hollywood” film flops. Although with studio accounting it is
sometimes difficult to tell what is profitable and what isn’t … certainly
Disney’s The Lone Ranger was a financial mess; everyone can agree on that
one.
Another film that
everyone nods in agreement on is the profitability of writer/director James
DeMonaco’s The Purge … the highly publicized budget of around $3 million
makes this $64.4 million box office success very profitable for Universal
Pictures.
Add in critical praise and
genre-fan acceptance and you can take it to the bank that the home
entertainment market will be another success story!
This wholly original
sci-fi thriller will be heading home on Oct. 8 as both a stand-alone DVD SKU
and a Blu-ray/DVD Combo Pack (both include UltraViolet). The ARR for that street date works out to 123
days.
The only bonus goodie is
the featurette titled “Surviving The Night: The Making of The Purge.”
In other release news
this week from Universal Studios, look for the double-disc, four-film Blu-ray
collection titled Tremors Attack Pack (included are: Tremors, Tremors 2:
Aftershocks, Tremors 3: Back to
Perfection and Tremors 4: The Legend
Begins) on Sept. 17.
