Dredd TV Show: 8 Reasons Why It MUST Happen
2. Dredd Was A Hit On The Small Screen
Although Dredd's box office takings proved underwhelming, 2000 AD's favourite son has found success on the small screen when the movie hit DVD and Blu-ray.
The fim shifted 750,000 copies in its first week on sale in North America alone, suggesting a botched marketing job was behind its cinematic failure.
Urban recently went on record to address Dredd's below-par run in theatres and he laid the blame squarely at Lionsgate's door, pointing out that the movie simply wasn't promoted enough upon release.
Strong DVD and Blu-ray sales support this claim and add credence to the idea that Dredd can thrive on the small screen. Urban and Travis deserve another shot at making Judge Dredd work from a commercial standpoint, having already won over an expectant fanbase.
