After premiering at the Toronto International Film Festival, Deepwater Horizon opened in theatres to some positive reviews and ended up making about $119-M. It hasn’t picked up much awards momentum however, just a lone People’s Choice Award nomination and Dylan O’Brien’s win for Choice AnTEENcipated Movie Actor at the Teen Choice Awards. The standard set of additional features are supplemented with a compatible VR app featuring three different commentary scenes pulled from the film. Maybe 2017 is the year when studios start bridging their home video releases with new VR technology.
