Covid-Cinema continues to have its own set of casualty statistics. Films that should do well theatrically, but struggle.
Such is this case with Billy Crystal’s Here Today — he co-wrote, directed and stars in — which opened theatrically in 1,200 theatres in early May (before “restrictions” were fully lifted in California) and only managed to pull in $2.8 million in box office revenues.
It is over, it’s done, there is nothing that can be done about what happened. This delightful comedy, co-starring Tiffany Haddish, should have done better. You just move on, and that’s exactly what Sony Pictures Home Entertainment did this past week with an Aug. 3 date for both DVD and Blu-ray editions.
For the record, the ARR comes in at 88 days.
Bonus features include commentary with Billy Crystal, Tiffany Haddish and co-writer Alan Zweibel (long-time Billy Crystal collaborator … multiple Emmy-wins for his writing) and video sessions with members of the cast and crew.
