The Borderlands movie is getting a digital home video release exactly three weeks on from its theatrical debut, Lionsgate has confirmed.

Reactions to the Borderlands movie have been almost universally negative from critics and fans of the series, and its abysmal box office performance very much reflects that, with most recent calculations saying it grossed just $22 million worldwide against its reported $110-120 million budget.

Earlier this month, reports claimed the disastrous movie was headed for a streaming debut just three weeks after hitting theaters, and while it's important to note that distributor Lionsgate has yet to confirm a streaming date, it has confirmed it'll be available for rent and purchase digitally on August 30.

After earning an English degree from ASU, I worked as a corporate copy editor while freelancing for places like SFX Magazine, Screen Rant, Game Revolution, and MMORPG on the side. I got my big break here in 2019 with a freelance news gig, and I was hired on as GamesRadar's west coast Staff Writer in 2021. That means I'm responsible for managing the site's western regional executive branch, AKA my home office, and writing about whatever horror game I'm too afraid to finish.
