As per the modern way then, it’s perhaps unsurprising that the movie will now be leaping to premium video on demand services at some speed. While we await a UK announcement, Lionsgate in the US is now making Borderlands available at home from 30th August, just three weeks after it made its debut in cinemas.

They need income to offset the losses against.

Eli Roth is a right wing Zionist pro-genocide piece of trash, and I am glad his movie is tanking.

Thats the case with all movies that do not do well.

I realise that but three weeks! Is that a new record?
