On June 24 a number of films will be released on home video and on demand. Some of these movies were very successful at the box office while others struggled to obtain an audience. The following list are the movies that audiences will be able to enjoy this weekend.

"300: Rise of an Empire" - The Warner Bros sequel is the biggest release of the week. The movie tells the story of Greek general Themistokles who leads the charge against invading Persian forces led by mortal-turned-god Xerxes and Artemisia. The film, which was directed by Noam Muro, scored mixed reviews and grossed $106 million at the box office. The sequel was not as successful as the 2006 actioner which made $210 million. The reason for a lackluster box office was the result of little buzz and no hype. However "Rise of an Empire" has a chance of gaining some traction on DVD and on demand as it is the perfect summer blockbuster that audiences are into at the moment. It also serves as an option for those moviegoers who are not in mood to go to the movies.

"Winter's Tale" - Warner Bros will also release the fantasy tale starring Colin Firth, Jessica Brown Findlay, Russell Crowe and Jennifer Connelly. Directed by Akiva Goldsman, the film tells the story of a burglar who falls in love with an heiress as she dies in his arms. When he learns that he has the gift of reincarnation, he sets out on a journey to save her. The movie was released on Feb 14 in hopes that it would be the perfect date movie but the results were poor. The movie not only received negative reviews but only made $12 million after having opened to $7 million. Warner Bros will attempt to regain some of its losses on DVD and try to attract females who have been very active movie goers during the summer season. The release is good counter programming especially with the lack of female driven films and with none coming out in the next few weeks, "Winter's Tale" could easily recuperate some of the money it lost at the box office earlier this year.

"Repentence" - This Lionsgate drama was one of the most ignored releases in February. The movie, starring Forest Whitaker and Anthony Mackie, tells the story of a successful author and spiritual advisor who takes on a troubled man as a client, completely unaware that the man's fixation on his mother's death will soon put his life in jeopardy. The movie opened in 152 theaters and ended its run making only $1.1 million. The drama is likely to attract Whitaker fans but at a time when movie goers are looking for a fun action film, this movie is unlikely to get any more fandom.

"Enemy" - When this Denis Villaneuve film first premiered at the Toronto Film Festival it was hailed as a masterpiece but it also was apparent the movie would be a hard sell. However A24 took on the release of the movie in March and while it only made $1 million, it was still successful overall. The thriller, based on Jose Saramago's novel of the same name, tells the story of a man who seeks out his exact look-alike after spotting him in a movie. The film marked the second collaboration between director Villaneuve and actor Jake Gyllenhaal after the highly successful "Prisoners." "Enemy" is a bit different from "Prisoners" in that it is more experimental and a harder film to grasp. As a result, this new A24 release will likely to attract only art house cinemagoers and Villaneuve fans.

"Blood Ties" - In March Roadside Attractions released the latest Guillame Canet film to mixed reviews and a year after its Cannes Film Festival premiere. The movie, starring Clive Owen, Mila Kunis, Billy Crudup, James Caan, Zoe Saldana, and Marion Cotillard, tells the story of two brothers, on either side of the law, who face off over organized crime in Brooklyn during the 1970s. The film opened both in theaters and on demand but proved to be a big flop. Not only was the length (a whopping 142 minutes) too long, but the plot and subject matter were of no interest to moviegoers. With an A list cast, there will likely be some interest on demand and on DVD.

"Faust" - In November Leisure films released the 2011 Golden Lion winner to mixed results. The Russian drama which is based on Goethe's novel about a man who is tempted by the devil, received rave reviews but only made $58,000 at the box office. The film is unlikely to garner a huge audience but will likely find followers on demand and streaming websites.

"What Richard Did" - Back in May of 2013, Tribeca Films released this drama to rave reviews. The film, which saw the breakthrough for Jack Reynor, tells the story of Richard Karlsen, a golden-boy athlete who has a bright future ahead of him. However one summer night Richard does something that destroys it all. The film won the top prize at the Irish film awards and premiered at the Tribeca and Toronto Film Festivals. However Tribeca released the movie in the summer and the result was a terrible $3,000 at the end of its run. However the company is releasing the DVD in time for the release of "Transformers," Reynor's next movie. With most audiences rushing out this weekend to see the next robot flick, fans of the franchise are likely to gain interest in Reynor and will likely run across this picture.

"Two Lives" - IFC Films will release Germany's Official Oscar Selection from last year. The movie was released back in February but only made $2,000. The drama follows Katrine, the daughter of a Norwegian woman and a German occupation soldier, who finds her idyllic life disrupted as she refuses to testify at a trial against the Norwegian state on behalf of her fellow "war children." The movie received rave reviews and will definitely attract foreign film lovers especially on streaming portals.
