By Universal Pictures has announced that tomorrow’s PVOD release of “The Fall Guy” will include an exclusive extended cut – one with over 20 minutes worth of never-before-seen footage.
The regular cut of the film clocks in at 126 minutes, suggesting this extended edition will take the film to the two-and-a-half hour mark.
The film is hitting digital 18 days after it opened in cinemas. The movie debuted to $27.7 million, coming in considerably under projections which had it sitting at $35-40 million.
With a second weekend drop of 51%, its fate was sealed and it currently sits at a global box-office haul of $127.6 million from a budget of around $130 million.
As the title is a Universal Pictures one, their existing agreement with exhibitors means movies that open under $50 million can hit PVOD platforms as early as 17 days after release.
The hope is plenty of people who didn’t check the film out in cinemas will be happy to watch it at home, and PVOD releases have shown little to no impact on box-office revenue – especially when the weekend haul drops below $10 million (it made $8.5 million domestically in its third weekend).
