DVD Info for Lionsgate / Weinstein Castoffs 'Horsemen' & 'Killshot'
Filed under: Action, Drama, Thrillers, Mystery & Suspense, Lionsgate Films, RumorMonger, The Weinstein Co., Home Entertainment
Oh, the irony of ironies when the Dennis Quaid serial killer mystery The Horsemen had a tagline that said "Come and see," only to receive an unceremonious dump on something like 75 screens in early March and its first formal review just this week in Variety (and they had to catch it in Paris, apparently!). Box Office Mojo can't even claim any exact figures for what the thing grossed in its very limited run.In similar straits was the Diane Lane/Mickey Rourke thriller, Killshot, which was formally dumped in Arizona and Arizona alone at the end of January. $18,000 on five screens -- way to capitalize on that Wrestler buzz, Weinsteins. But soon, scarcity will matter not for either film, as Fangoria says that the former film will get its DVD release on July 14th, while Amazon claims a May 26th bow for the latter.
There's no word on special features for Killshot yet, which makes me wonder if we'll see any sign of Johnny Knoxville's reportedly excised character... but maybe I shouldn't look a gift horse in the mouth.

I saw a cut of Killshot a few weeks ago that was sans Knoxville. It was a pretty straightforward plot, and was only a memorable thriller because of the good character acting. I don't know what Knoxville would add, but I'd watch it again if he's thrown into the mix.
