In contrast to the usual trend where August sees a slowdown in box office sales as summer blockbusters end their run, this year saw an exceptional title that generated considerable buzz. The intriguing marketing strategy and positive word of mouth propelled Zach Cregger’s horror movie, “Weapons”, into a late-season success. Surpassing expectations during its opening weekend and capitalizing on limited competition, it has managed to maintain a robust performance. Horror enthusiasts continue to flock to the cinemas to watch “Weapons”, but some may be curious about when they can rewatch it at home. It’s now been disclosed that the digital release of “Weapons” is forthcoming.
Starting on September 9th (which is next Tuesday), you’ll be able to download ‘Weapons’ digitally. This announcement comes about a month after its theatrical premiere. If you prefer a physical copy, it will be available from October 14th.
Weapons Is Coming to Digital Surprisingly Soon
The movie titled “Weapons” wasn’t only popular among horror enthusiasts; it also managed to achieve several significant box office achievements during its screening period. On its opening weekend, it surpassed the domestic earnings of Cregger’s previous film, “Barbarian.” Within a mere 10 days, “Weapons” overtook Disney’s live-action version of “Snow White” on the charts. Throughout August, “Weapons” ruled the box office, claiming victory in three out of its first four weekends. If not for Netflix’s limited one-weekend screening of “Kpop Demon Hunters,” it would have been the top movie every single week.
It would be advisable for weapons sales to decelerate, as the horror film “The Conjuring: Last Rites” has been released now. This latest addition to the successful “Conjuring” series is expected to generate more than $40 million domestically during its opening weekend. Additionally, September will witness the launch of Stephen King’s thriller “The Long Walk,” which has received highly favorable reviews.
Despite recent blockbuster releases such as “The Conjuring: Last Rites” and “The Long Walk“, it’s still unexpected that “Weapons” has already been released on home media, so soon after its theatrical debut. The film has been earning substantial revenues over the past month, suggesting that Warner Bros. might have benefited from prolonging its exclusive theatrical run to increase earnings further. However, “Weapons” will continue to be screened in cinemas, but with fewer reasons for people to visit the theater, as they can now wait a few more days and rent it at home instead. While this makes the film more conveniently accessible for everyone, it’s unfortunate that its theatrical run may have been slightly truncated.
As a movie enthusiast, I’ve noticed a remarkable shift in the film industry over the past few years – especially during the pandemic when viewers became accustomed to shorter theater runs and new films being streamed at home. It seems like we won’t be returning to the pre-2020 norms anytime soon. Fortunately, the success of “Weapons” in cinemas was tremendous, and now with the addition of a new revenue stream, Warner Bros. is poised to make even greater profits. Given its widespread acclaim, I believe “Weapons” will be a hit among digital viewers as more people jump on the bandwagon to discover what all the buzz is about.
