Sony Pictures Home Entertainment Has Writer/Director Alex Kendrick's Overcomer Lined Up For A Dec. 17 DVD And Blu-ray/DVD Combo Pack Release


DVD & Blu-ray Release Report, Ralph Tribbey
Sony Pictures Home Entertainment looks to Dec. 17 as the release date for the faith-based, feel-good film from writer/director (and star) Alex Kendrick, Overcomer.

The critics didn’t hate it, they just were so-so about it (snobs to be sure), but audiences responded to it in a big way and gave it rave reviews.   The result was a strong word-of-mouth box office performance that rang up $34.6 million in ticket sales.   The ARR works out to 116 days.

Planned for release will be a stand-alone DVD edition as well as a Blu-ray/DVD Combo Pack.

Overcomer comes packed with bonus goodies.   Common to both SKUs are commentary from filmmaker Alex Kendrick and producer/co-writer Stephen Kendrick, about ten minutes worth of additional scenes (with introductions by the Kendrick Brothers), a blooper reel, outtakes, five featurettes — “The Making of Overcomer,” “The Theme of Identity,” “The Power of Forgiveness,” “Overcomer in 60 Seconds” and “Overcomer Resources Video” — and Mandisa’s “Overcomer” lip-sync music video.

Exclusive to the Blu-ray SKU are five additional featurettes — “The Heart of Overcomer,” “Creating the Opening Drone Shot,” “Working with the Kendricks” “Looks Behind-the-Scenes” and “Don’t Mess With the Editors” — and the Koryn Hawthorne inspirational music video titled “Enough.”
