Jackass 2.5 To Be Released Online For FREE
By Peter Sciretta/Dec. 12, 2007 4:16 pm EST
Instead Jackass 2.5 will be released exclusively for two weeks through the web. This is probably the biggest single move towards online movie distribution by a major studio to date. The 64-minute film will be offered online for free starting on December 19th through Blockbuster (blockbuster.jackassworld.com). The film uses unused footage from the second Jackass film, combined with $2 million worth of new footage.
Watch the trailer below.
Jackass: The Movie made $79.4 million, while the sequel Jackass: Number Two made over $84 million worldwide. And while home video sales figures aren’t available, I’m sure the films made another $70-$100 million on DVD. Not bad considering both films cost a combined $16 million to make.
