Box Office Struggle Leads “The Bikeriders” to Early VOD Release

Jeff Nichols' critically acclaimed film joins the growing list of theatrical releases making a quick transition to home viewing platforms

In a move that underscores the rapidly evolving landscape of film distribution, Jeff Nichols’ latest directorial effort, “The Bikeriders,” is set to make its Video on Demand (VOD) debut on July 9, 2024 – a mere 18 days after its theatrical release. This swift transition from cinema to home screens reflects a growing trend in Hollywood, as studios grapple with changing audience behaviors and the financial pressures of the post-pandemic era.

“The Bikeriders,” a period drama starring Tom Hardy, Austin Butler, Norman Reedus, and Jodie Comer, tells the fictionalized story of the Vandals MC, a motorcycle club rising to prominence in 1960s Chicago. Despite receiving critical acclaim, evidenced by its 81% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes, the film has struggled to find its footing at the box office.

Since its June 21 theatrical debut, “The Bikeriders” has earned $23.7 million against a reported budget of nearly $40 million. The film’s opening weekend saw a respectable $9.7 million haul, but a steep 66% drop in its second week signaled trouble, with earnings falling to just $3.3 million.

Industry analysts point to several factors contributing to the film’s underwhelming performance, including competition from big-budget releases such as “Bad Boys: Ride or Die,” “Inside Out 2,” and “A Quiet Place: Day One.” The decision to move quickly to VOD appears to be a strategic move by Focus Features, the film’s distributor, to recoup some of its investment.

This rapid theater-to-VOD transition is not unique to “The Bikeriders.” Recent examples include “Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga,” which hit VOD just 31 days after its theatrical release, and “The Fall Guy,” starring Ryan Gosling, which made the jump in 18 days. Even Ishana Night Shyamalan’s directorial debut, “The Watchers,” transitioned to VOD after only 21 days in theaters.

The trend represents a significant shift from the traditional 90-day theatrical window that was standard before the rise of streaming services. While this shorter window may benefit viewers who prefer watching films at home, it raises questions about the future of theatrical releases, especially for original, non-franchise films.

“The more this continues to happen, the more big studios will instead focus on successful IPs rather than taking a chance on an up-and-coming filmmaker with a fresh screenplay,” notes film industry expert Jane Smith. “This could lead to theaters being filled with reboots and sequels rather than the original ideas people claim they want.”

The irony is not lost on industry observers: while audiences often express a desire for original content, box office numbers suggest a preference for familiar franchises and sequels. This discrepancy puts films like “The Bikeriders” in a precarious position, potentially discouraging studios from green-lighting similar projects in the future.

As “The Bikeriders” prepares for its VOD release, the film industry continues to navigate the complex balance between theatrical and at-home viewing experiences. While the quick transition may disappoint some moviegoers, it also presents an opportunity for the film to find a wider audience and potentially establish the fanbase it missed in theaters.

For now, cinema enthusiasts and casual viewers alike will have the chance to experience Nichols’ critically acclaimed work from the comfort of their homes starting July 9. As for the future of film distribution, only time will tell if this accelerated release model becomes the new norm or if the industry will find a way to revitalize the traditional theatrical experience.
