‘The Smashing Machine’ comes home.
On Tuesday, November 4, A24 released ‘The Smashing Machine’ on digital platforms around the world, meaning that the Mark Kerr-biopic is now available to rent or buy on platforms like Apple TV, Amazon Prime, and Fandango At Home/Vudu.
The digital release comes just 31 days after the film was released in theaters. Even with a cast that features names like Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson and Emily Blunt, ‘The Smashing Machine’ disappointed at the box office, recording only $11.3M domestically and $20.2M worldwide.
There’s no other high like it.
It all became a drug.
