Vin Diesel’s Bloodshot To Be Released Digitally Next Week
Vin Diesel and Sony’s latest outing Bloodshot will be available to purchase digitally next week.
Sony Pictures chairman Tom Rothman made the announcement. He began saying, “Sony Pictures is firmly committed to theatrical exhibition and we support windowing.
Rothman continued, “This is a unique and exceedingly rare circumstance where theaters have been required to close nationwide for the greater good and Bloodshot is abruptly unavailable in any medium.”
He concluded, “Audiences will now have the chance to own Bloodshot right away and see it at home, where we are all spending more time. We are confident that — like other businesses hit hard by the virus — movie theaters will bounce back strongly, and we will be there to support them.”
