Warner Bros. Home Entertainment Looks To Aug. 03 For Blu-ray And DVD Editions Of Taylor Sheridan's Those Who Wish Me Dead

DVD & Blu-ray Release Report, Ralph Tribbey

Warner Bros. Home Entertainment announced this past week that Taylor Sheridan’s latest against-all-odds thriller, Those Who Wish Me Dead, will be available during the first week of August (the third to be exact) as both DVD and Blu-ray editions.

The ARR comes in at 81 days and domestic tickets were a little on the light side at just $7.3 million.

After the two Sicario movies, Hell or High Water, Wind River and Yellowstone, it seemed like a good idea to have an A-list actress in the next Sheridan film, and Angelina Jolie certainly fits the bill.   But Warner’s weird day/date HBO Max and theatrical run, probably drew more of an online crowd as places like California were sending mixed messages about how safe it was to leave the safety of the living room.

We are not going to knock Warner’s distribution choices, maybe it is working out for them, it didn’t register here in the box office tally, but maybe it paid off in the digital marketplace.   And there is nothing wrong with Angelina Jolie in Those Who Wish Me Dead, but for Sheridan fans, we would have loved to have seen Kelly Reilly in the lead here and not the “higher profile” Jolie.

As for bonus goodies, there is only the featurette titled “Making Those Who Wish Me Dead,” which is common to both SKUs.
