TheBorderlands movieis getting a digital home video release exactly three weeks on from its theatrical debut, Lionsgate has confirmed.
Reactions to the Borderlands moviehave been almost universally negative from critics and fans of the series, and its abysmal box office performance very much reflects that, with mostrecent calculationssaying it grossed just $22 million worldwide against its reported $110-120 million budget.
Earlier this month,reports claimed the disastrous movie was headed for a streaming debut just three weeks after hitting theaters, and while it’s important to note that distributor Lionsgate has yet to confirm a streaming date, it has confirmed it’ll be available for rent and purchase digitally on August 30.
More specifically, it has been announced that you’ll be able to buy the Borderlands movie for $24.99 and rent it for $19.99 (48-hour period) through various digital platforms including Amazon Prime, Apple TV,GooglePlay, Fandango at Home, and more.
The Borderlands movie is based on the popular video game series of the same name, developed byGearboxSoftware and published by 2K. The story centers around a ragtag group of misfits navigating the dangerous alien planet of Pandora in search of an ancient vault containing powerful alien technology. The star-studded cast of the movie includes Cate Blanchett as Lilith, Kevin Hart as Roland, Jack Black as Claptrap, and Jamie Lee Curtis as Dr. Patricia Tannis.
