It looks like the Borderlands movie will be available to stream this month

The
Borderlands
movie
looks
set
to
hit
streaming
services
as
early
as
this
month,
if
numerous
reports
are
to
be
believed.

Presumably
because
of
how
badly
it
flopped
in
cinemas,
drawing
in
a
paltry
$14
million
on
its
opening
weekend,
the
Borderlands
movie
is
apparently
going
to
be
available
to
stream
on
August
30th.
Lionsgate
hasn’t
said
anything
officially,
but
multiple
sites
(The
Hollywood
Handle,

Screen
Time,

When
to
Stream)
are
all
listing
the
30th
of
August
as
its
expected
arrival
date.

While
the
time
between
a
movie
releasing
in
cinemas
and
then
becoming
available
on
streaming
has
drastically
shrunk
over
the
years,
especially
thanks
to
COVID,
it’s
unusual
to
see
a
movie
make
the
jump
in
such
a
short
period.
Borderlands
released
on
August
9th,
meaning
its
streaming
debut
would
be
just
3
weeks
after
arriving
on
the
silver
screen.

Despicable
Me
4,
for
example,
came
out
at
the
beginning
of
June
and
is
also
listed
as
arriving
on
streaming
at
the
end
of
this
month.
However,
it
also
made
oodles
of
money
in
the
cinema.

While
this
is
speculation,
the
reason
for
Borderlands
becoming
available
to
stream
so
quickly
is
likely
because
of
how
poorly
it
performed
at
the
box
office.
Lionsgate
will
likely
be
hoping
that
it
can
find
more
success
on
streaming
platforms.
And
honestly,
it
might
work.
I
can’t
speak
for
anyone
else,
but
I’m
kind
of
morbidly
curious
to
see
if
it’s
as
bad
as
everyone
is
making
it
out
to
be.
