New Line has announced a June 3rd release date for Will Ferrell’s Semi Pro, which will arrive in an unrated “Let’s Get Sweaty” two-disc special edition.
It’s safe to assume the quick turn around from its theatrical release to home video is due to the fact that the movie didn’t do so well at the box office, pulling in (as of this blog post) only $32 million domestically.
In my opinion, its R rating hurt the film’s potential. PG-13 would have brought in the millions of a teenagers between the ages of 13 and 16 who can’t get into a 17 and over R rated movie. Hopefully the movie will find a larger audience when it arrives on DVD and Blu-ray this June.
Semi-Pro will be presented in 1080p with DTS-HD Lossless Master Audio 7.1 Surround.
