Hellboy Coming To Prime And DVD This July

If you missed Hellboy in theaters, we have good news, you will soon be able to watch it from the comfort of your own couch. Hellboy, which opened in theaters back in April, is already headed to Blu-ray, DVD, and Prime next month. The film wasn’t a smash hit at the box office, bringing in only $48 million ($2 million short of covering its budget), so it seems Lionsgate is making a move to quickly recover its losses. David Harbour stars as Hellboy in Neil Marshall‘s new reboot alongside Ian McShane, Milla Jovovich as Nimue, the film’s villain; Ian McShane as Professor Broom; Daniel Dae Kim as Major Ben Daimio; Penelope Mitchell as Ganeida; and Sasha Lane as Alice Monaghan with Sophie Okonedo (After Earth), Brian Gleeson (mother!) and Alistair Petrie (The Night Manager, Rogue One: A Star Wars Story).
