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.”
