Blue Beetle is one of the last DCEU films. After three huge box office failures, could this small venture from DC turn out to be any different? Well, the film was critically successful, which is a rare sight for DCEU, Blue Beetle debuted with a score of 82% of Rotten Tomatoes which has now fallen to 78% based on 123 reviews. Despite a decent $26 million opening weekend, the DC flick has failed to connect with the audience as the footfalls for the film continue to fall. Made on a sizeable budget of $104 million, Blue Beetle has only earned $105 million so far. Considering half of it went to the theatres owners, DC is still facing a loss. The studio in order to make its budget back is trying other mediums now. Hence, the digital release of the film has been announced.
Blue Beetle Will Be Available For Purchase Very Soon!
Blue Beetle was recently listed by YouTube movies as available for pre-order, including a specific release date of Tuesday, September 26. This means that the fans can enjoy the DC flick at home via the platform 39 days after it was officially released in theaters worldwide on August 18. A separate report mentioned that Blue Beetle would be available for purchase digitally and on VOD platforms on Tuesday, September 19. It is likely that this was the original date and the release was pushed back by a week.
If you think 39 days is too quick for a film to be available online then wait as you check the theatre to digital window of other DC movies that have released this year. Shazam! Fury of the Gods was made available for digital purchase just 21 days after its theatrical debut, and The Flash hit VOD platforms 32 days after it had premiered on the big screen. This is part of Warner Bros. aggressive theatre to digital strategy and by the looks of it they don’t intend to change it.
