Last year’s hit post-apocalyptic adventure, Love and Monsters, is finally coming to home media on 4k, Blu-Ray, and DVD.
Love and Monsters focuses on a young man in a post-apocalyptic world who must make a dangerous journey to reunite with his girlfriend. The action-adventure film was originally supposed to release in theaters worldwide on February of this year. But due to the coronavirus pandemic Paramount Studios opted to release the film digitally and in select theaters on October 16, 2021.
Love and Monsters was met with positive reviews from both critics, audiences, and streamers. Critics compared the film to other well known successful post apocalyptic films and included some references such as Zombieland, I Am Legend, and A Boy And His Dog. In its opening weekend the film was the number one rented movie on AppleTV and Fandango Now.

Love and Monsters also played in selected three hundred eighty seven theaters alongside its Video On Demand release. The film also gained around $255,000 on its opening weekend and grossed around $1.1 Million during its limited release in theaters. Overall the film was a critical hit and could have been a huge box office hit if it wasn’t for the current pandemic forcibly shutting down multiple cinemas worldwide. On the bright side Love and Monsters was critically successful and hopefully the studio can be able to make a sequel to this notable film.
