Elizabeth Banks and Russell Crowe bringing The Next Three Days on Blu-ray

Lionsgate Home Entertainment has announced that the thriller THE NEXT THREE DAYS, starring Russell Crowe, Elizabeth Banks, Liam Neeson and Olivia Wilde, will be released in a BD/DVD/Digital Copy combo pack on March 8, 2011. The film follows Lara Brennan (Banks) who is wrongly accused of murdering her boss. When her husband (Crowe) can’t find any evidence to clear her name he decides to break her out so she can rejoin their family. Surprisingly, THE NEXT THREE DAYS didn’t do so great at the box office only grossing a little over $21 million.

I thought this looked like a pretty fun ride but I was surprised at how it came and went so quickly at the theaters. Does Russell Crowe not bring in the crowds like he used to? I know he’s had a couple of bombs recently (ROBIN HOOD kind of tanked and BODY OF LIES as well as STATE OF PLAY were barely recognized), could it be that his star is falling a little? Special features for THE NEXT THREE DAYS include:
