Lionsgate Home Entertainment is now running on
empty. On Mar. 13 their theatrical
distribution arm opened the directing team of Andy and Jon Erwin’s faith-based
biopic, I Still Believe. The following Friday, Mar. 20, theatres
shutdown nationwide and that was it.
The film pulled in a nice $9.9 million in ticket
sales during its one-week run and by all accounts it was well-received, but
with the lockdown we will never know just how far word-of-mouth might have
carried the film theatrically. There’s
a lot of that going around these days.
In any case, with the announcement this past week
that I Still Believe will
be heading home on May 5 as both DVD and Blu-ray/DVD Combo Pack product
offerings, it becomes the last active theatrical release in inventory for the
studio. Going forward, Lionsgate Home Entertainment must now fall back on its
library holdings for the next few months to keep the lights on.
For the record, the ARR for I Still
Believe is just 53 days.
Bonus features include commentary from Andy Erwin
and Jon Erwin — the brothers previously teamed for October
Baby and I Can
Only Imagine — deleted scenes and four
featurettes — “Origin,” “Casting,” “Bart & Jeremy” and “Music.”
