March 29, 2011

Universal Studios Home Entertainment has slated June 7 to bring the James Cameron executive produced R-rated underwater thriller Sanctum to Blu-ray 3D, Blu-ray 2D and DVD.

Universal heavily marketed Sanctum's 3D effects and James Cameron tie-in when it was released theatrically in early February. Despite those efforts, Sanctum only managed $9.4 million its opening weekend and left theaters having amassed $23.2 million in North America. Overseas business was marginally better at around $48 million.
