Brendan Fraser’s New World War II Thriller Pressure Officially Releases On Digital Tomorrow After Impressive Box Office Run
Pressure is coming to digital. Directed by Anthony Maras, the World War II thriller chronicles the 72 hours before the Allied invasion of Europe, and the crucial role that Captain James Stagg played in forecasting the weather on D-Day. The film, which hit theaters on May 29, stars Brendan Fraser as Dwight "Ike" Eisenhower, with Andrew Scott playing Stagg. Universal Pictures now confirms that Pressure will arrive on VOD Tuesday, June 16. The film will be available to rent and purchase from most major retailers, including Apple TV, Amazon Prime Video, and Fandango at Home. A physical media release will follow next month, with the 4K UHD, Blu-ray, and DVD set to arrive on July 28. When purchased from participating retailers, the home releases will include the following bonus features about the making of the movie:
BUILDING PRESSURE – Go behind the scenes as the filmmakers and cast break down the story’s origins and the complex characters who were pivotal in changing the course of history.
AN AUTHENTIC WORLD OF WAR – From set design and camera choreography to period props and costumes, filmmakers reveal the details they used to shape an accurate recreation of the era.
The film's impending digital release following a strong reception from critics and audiences. On Rotten Tomatoes, Pressure holds an impressive 86% from critics, making it Certified Fresh. The Popcornmeter is even higher at a glowing 95%, indicating widespread audience approval. At the box office, Pressure, which remains in theaters, has so far grossed just over $15 million worldwide, comprising $14 million domestically and $1 million from overseas. The film was made on a budget of $80 million, meaning it's unlikely to become profitable in theaters. However, it did deliver Fraser's biggest opening weekend since 2014's The Nut Job, grossing $5.4 million in North America.
