Oblivion is Tom Cruise's twentieth film to gross more than
$200 million worldwide. This post-apocalyptic science fiction film was based on
Joseph Kosinski's Radical Comics-edited unpublished graphic novel of the same
name. However, this film underperformed at the American box office, grossing
only $89 million. Oblivion stars Tom Cruise and Olga Kurylenko, and it was
co-written, produced and directed by Kosinski. The film theatrically released
on April 19, 2013 in the U.S. and received mixed reviews. The acting and visual
effects were praised, while critiques of the story were mixed.
Oblivion DVD and Blu-ray discs are available online at the
end of April, 2013. And on August 6, 2013 the United Kingdom branch of Universal
Studios released the film on home video in its region and with the on-demand
version on August 18, 2013. The Blu-ray releases featured commentary with Tom
Cruise and director Joseph Kosinski, deleted scenes, M83's isolated score, and
a series of making-of featurettes. The Oblivion Blu-ray debuted at number 1 in
sales for its opening week.
