Released on August 9, the highly anticipated Borderlands movie has been the target of heavy criticism, with critics giving it low scores. Now, less than three weeks after its theatrical debut, the film is already gearing up for a digital release. Could this early move be a sign of the film's struggles at the box office?
Released on August 9, the Borderlands movie received very negative reviews from both critics and viewers. It is now preparing to be available on digital platforms soon, which might be a first for the film.
The film will be available on Amazon Prime Video, Apple TV, and Google Play starting on August 30. It will be available for both purchase and rental. With a budget of $115 million, the movie didn’t perform as expected at the box office, prompting its digital release even before completing three weeks in theaters.
Both critics and viewers agree that the film lacked the entertainment value it was expected to deliver. Additionally, the subpar visual effects (CGI) are cited as another reason for its disappointing reception.
