Evil Dead Burn Set for Digital Release on August 4 and 4K/Blu‑ray on September 22

The fast home rollout and bonus featurettes come as the gory franchise entry posts roughly $63–64 million worldwide and raises questions about long‑term profitability.

Overview

  • Warner Bros. will make Evil Dead Burn available to buy or rent on major digital stores in the U.S. and Canada on August 4, 2026, followed by 4K UHD, Blu‑ray and DVD editions on September 22, 2026.
  • The physical and digital releases include three studio‑listed featurettes on the franchise legacy, a complex one‑shot sequence, and the film’s practical stunts and effects.
  • The film has grossed about $63–64 million worldwide against a reported $20 million production budget, a return that covers production costs but leaves overall profitability unclear after marketing and distribution expenses.
  • Director Sébastien Vaniček has said the film originally drew an NC‑17 rating and that studio requests led to trims of a targeted scene, while critics generally gave the movie positive reviews in the low 70s on Rotten Tomatoes.
  • The home release will be followed by a later streaming window reported for HBO Max in late summer or fall 2026, and the franchise plans a 2028 follow‑up titled Evil Dead Wrath, keeping the Necronomicon continuity active.
