Borderlands hasn’t even been in cinemas for a month, and Lionsgate has already confirmed that it is getting a digital launch this week.
The Borderlands film just isn’t what I, or anybody else I believe, would name good. I might name it very unhealthy in reality, I did so in my assessment of the movie, and unsurprisingly, the online game adaptation went on to bomb on the field workplace, opening with $16 million on a $115 million funds, which is, to place it bluntly, abysmal. Clearly this end result did not greatest please Lionsgate both, as yesterday the manufacturing firm introduced that the premium video and on-demand launch of the movie might be coming later this week, August 30. As a reminder, the movie solely got here out on August 9, which means it is out there digitally simply three weeks after it was launched.
You can purchase the movie for $25, or hire it for 48-hours, which is able to set you again $20. Clearly shopping for it’s the higher deal of the 2, however in the event you ask me, do not hassle with both and wait till it finally ends up on a streaming service, the place you possibly can say “oh, Borderland’s on Netflix now” earlier than promptly scrolling by all the opposite exhibits and films earlier than deciding you possibly can’t be bothered and hop again on Twitter. It will nonetheless be a greater use of your time.
On the very least, for followers of the video video games there’s some quantity of fine information. Final week, at Gamescom Opening Night time Dwell, 2K and Gearbox Software program lastly revealed that they are engaged on Borderlands 4, although they did not have all that a lot to point out from it. It is a basic “sure, it is actual!” trailer even if Gearbox CEO Randy Pitchford has beforehand teased its existence, so all of us type of knew it was coming anyway. Nonetheless, it is higher than nothing, and for Gearbox’s sake, you higher hope the sport is sweet sufficient to assist the few those who noticed the movie overlook about it.
