What Here’s Digital Release Date Means For The Movie

Why The Forrest Gump Reunion Movie Couldn’t Match The Tom Hanks Classic At The Box Office, Making $667M Less Than It
The Tom Hanks and Robert Zemeckis reunion of Here is failing to live up to Forrest Gump’s landmark box office success, for multiple reasons.
SinceHererepresented a reunion of multiple collaborators behind the massively successfulForrest Gump, there were some lofty expectations surrounding it. However,Herehas largely failed to live up to those expectations, withHere’s reviewspraising director Robert Zemeckis for revisiting humanistic storytelling, but criticizing its theatrical presentation and excessive spectacle which diminish its emotional impact, resulting in a 35% Rotten Tomatoes score.Herealso bombed at the box office, grossing only $13 million against its $45–50 million budget.
Our Take On Here’s Digital Release Date
The Ambitious Project Deserves To Be Seen
ThoughHerewas panned by critics and bombed at the box office, its release on digital platforms will provide it with a chance to be introduced to an entirely new audience who didn’t see it in theaters and might appreciate aspects of the ambitious project. Not only is the camera set in a fixed position, but the film unfolds in a non-linear fashion and often employs a split-screen technique to present scenes from various periods simultaneously.
Additionally, a groundbreaking new generative AI technology called Metaphysic Live was used to de-age the actors in real-time during filming, as opposed to post-production. WhileHeremay have been a disappointment overall,it’s still an ambitious project that deserves to be seen.
