Borderlands Movie Hits Digital Release Just Weeks After Theaters
Aug 28, 2024 10:33 AMThe Borderlands movie is set for a digital release just three weeks after its theatrical debut, which many interpret as a sign of its poor box office performance. Opening at a meager $16 million against a budget of $115 million, it was widely panned. While some may find the rapid shift to digital convenient, it's largely viewed as an indication of the film's failure. The digital release will allow fans to purchase it at $25 or rent it for $20. In related news, the developers 2K and Gearbox Software announced that Borderlands 4 is in the works, hoping to revitalize the brand after the movie's disastrous launch.
What is the release date for the Borderlands movie digital release?The Borderlands movie will be available for digital purchase or rental on August 30, just three weeks after its cinematic release on August 9.
The Borderlands franchise began as a popular video game series known for its unique blend of first-person shooting and role-playing elements, characterized by its cel-shaded art style and humor. The original game launched in 2009, leading to several sequels and expansions. However, translating its quirky charm into a live-action film proved to be a significant challenge, culminating in the box office disappointment that has prompted an early digital release. Fans of the game are now looking forward to the upcoming Borderlands 4, which promises to inject fresh energy into the beloved series.

It's a bummer to see the Borderlands movie flop, especially since the games have such a vibrant and loyal following. On the bright side, at least fans can snag it digitally soon and 2K is already looking to lift the franchise with Borderlands 4—fingers crossed they capture that signature humor

It’s a bummer to see the Borderlands movie stumble so hard; it feels like they just couldn't capture the wild energy of the games. On the bright side, the announcement of Borderlands 4 could be just what the franchise needs to bounce back and remind us why we fell in love with it in the first place

Looks like the Borderlands movie barely got off the ground before it was whisked away to digital It's a bummer when adaptations miss the mark, but at least Borderlands 4 is in the works to bring the franchise back to its gaming roots.
