тιтus Welliver has a new horror movie out this summer, but its release was largely overshadowed due to another project from the star. тιтus Welliver’s best TV characters have allowed the actor to flex his dramatic muscles, giving him a long and exciting career in Hollywood.
Whether in The Town, Argo, or Transformers: Age of Extinction, Welliver stands out in everything he appears. The actor plays a great hero, but has also played strong villains in shows like The Good Wife. Performances like this have shown a more frightening side of Welliver, which many hoped to see further in his new horror movie.
Unfortunately, timing can complicate things, and in this case, it took attention away from the new film with a guest spot on Ballard. The new series on Prime Video is a spinoff in the Bosch universe, which Welliver has headlined for over a decade, making it one of his career-defining roles.
The popularity of the series, excitement for Ballard‘s release, and knowing that he’d be back gave fans of the actor a big release to look forward. Unfortunately, that meant taking the spotlight away from Welliver’s new movie. While already underseen, it is worth checking out now that it’s available on digital after a limited box office run.
тιтus Welliver’s Bosch Return Overshadowed His Starring Role In Abraham’s Boys: A Dracula Story
Abraham’s Boys: A Dracula Story was released in theaters in July, and it just became available for purchase on digital earlier this week. The film premiered on July 11th, but unfortunately, discussion concerning Welliver that week primarily focused on his return to the role of Bosch in the series Ballard.
With the full season of Ballard being released on July 9th, fans of Welliver had no reason to rush out to the cinemas to see him. Instead, there was a complete season of the Bosch-spinoff available for streaming at home. He returned as his beloved character in three of the 10 episodes.
Granted, Abraham’s Boys did not receive a mᴀssive release, playing in only 470 theaters, but the film’s box office barely clawing past $200,000 is disappointing. Welliver has great appeal that should be able to bolster a film like this to higher heights if it were given a wider release.
Fortunately, Natasha Kermani’s new film Abraham’s Boys can now garner an audience of its own during its home release. The film will be available on Shudder at some point, and is a strong watch, especially for fans of Welliver’s body of work as they wait for another appearance as Bosch.
