É basicamente uma espécie de dublê:
The war thriller starring Gary Oldman, Jai Courtney and Kate Mara was only screened at a single theatre, the Reel Cinema in Burnley, as part of promotions around its digital release.
But Man Down's unrelenting floppage was slightly exaggerated, its cinema takings (which reportedly equalled just one ticket sold) likely not helped by the film being released across video-on-demand services on the same date.
These "day-and-date" releases ensure that distributors only need to pay for advertising their film once, while capitalising on the obvious boom of streaming services in recent years. Londoners will be aware that Man Down had a decent promotional budget, with posters of LaBeouf in soldier gear lining walls of the Underground for the past week, despite the promise of "In cinemas March 31st" meaning just one Reel Cinema in, for some reason, the middle of Burnley.
