Focus Features Puts Greengrass Film on Digital 17 Days After Debut

Focus Features has made Paul Greengrass' latest film available to rent and purchase at home only 17 days after its theatrical release, according to Collider. The quick digital turnaround comes as the film, which opened in more than 2,000 theaters in September, is now playing in roughly 220 theaters domestically.

The move highlights the shrinking window between a film's big-screen debut and its arrival on home platforms, a shift that has become more common as studios balance theatrical runs with streaming demand.

Greengrass' Mixed Box-Office History

Greengrass is no stranger to the ups and downs of the box office. In 2010, he made Green Zone, an Iraq War thriller starring Matt Damon, which fell short both critically and commercially. In 2016, his Jason Bourne reboot received mediocre reviews but was a major box-office hit. His breakout movie Bloody Sunday received phenomenal reviews but was a non-performer at the box office.

The director's latest film now faces a similar test, with its rapid digital release suggesting Focus Features is looking to capture home-viewing audiences while the title is still in theaters.
