28 Days Later DVD Release Not Before US Theaters
“28 Days Later was released on DVD in the UK before it ever made it to US theaters”
Summary
28 Days Later opened in UK cinemas in November 2002 and reached US theaters in early 2003. The DVD was released in the UK on 16 May 2003, well after the film had already been shown in US theatres. Therefore, the claim that the UK DVD preceded any US theatrical showing is incorrect.
