Lionsgate Home Entertainment Closes Out New Theatrical Releases With May 5 Blu-ray/DVD Combo Pack And DVD Editions Of I Still Believe


DVD & Blu-ray Release Report, Ralph Tribbey
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.

DVD & Blu-ray Release Report, Ralph TribbeyFor 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.”
