20th
Century-Fox Home Entertainment will be guiding the Annapurna Pictures’
production of writer/director Kathryn Bigelow’s Detroit to the home
entertainment marketplace on Nov. 28 as both DVD and Blu-ray/DVD Combo Pack
editions.
The ARR for this
independently distributed theatrical release, which is the final summer-season
film grossing in excess of $10 million to get a street date, works out to 123
days. Box office receipts in the
domestic market came in at $16.8 million (that’s a solid number for an indie).
Based on the 1967
“Algiers Motel” police action, which occurred during the Detroit riots of July
1967, the film arrives as a home entertainment production with bonus features
that include the Algee Smith music video “Grow,” featuring the actual Larry
Reed, plus five featurettes — “The Truth of Detroit,” “The Cast of Detroit,”
“The Invasion of Detroit,” “The Hope of Detroit” and “Detroit: Then and Now.”
