Michael Moves Home: Lionsgate Sets June 9 PVOD and July 14 4K/Blu‑ray Releases

Lionsgate's fast digital and deluxe physical rollout is designed to turn the film's blockbuster theatrical audience into direct home sales.

Overview

  • Lionsgate confirmed the film will be available for premium digital purchase and 48‑hour rental on June 9, with purchase priced at about $24.99 and rental at about $19.99 on services such as Prime Video, Apple TV, YouTube Movies and Fandango at Home.
  • A physical release of Michael is scheduled for July 14 with 4K UHD, Blu‑ray and DVD formats plus multiple behind‑the‑scenes featurettes and retailer-exclusive collector editions aimed at collectors and fans.
  • The move follows a massive theatrical run that has pushed the biopic to roughly $850 million worldwide, a performance driven by overwhelmingly positive audience response despite largely negative critic reviews.
  • Reporting notes the film's final cut was shaped by reshoots and legal edits during 2025, including the removal of some filmed scenes for legal reasons, a production history that influenced what appears in home versions.
  • Coverage is mixed on franchise plans: some outlets say Lionsgate has greenlit a sequel while others say the studio is only teasing future chapters, so the follow‑up's formal status remains unconfirmed.
