The 2002 zombie apocalypse film 28 Days Later directed by Danny Boyle has seen its physical DVD and Blu-ray copies skyrocket in value. Due to the movie’s limited availability on streaming platforms and its physical copies being out of production, collectors are now willing to pay top dollar for them. In some cases, a Blu-ray copy has sold for as much as $110 on eBay.
This surge in value is driven by the rarity of these discs, as more people turn to physical media for movies that are difficult to find online. Streaming services often rotate content, meaning that even popular films like 28 Days Later can be unavailable for long periods. For collectors and movie buffs alike, owning a physical copy ensures they have access to the film whenever they want to watch it.
This trend highlights a growing appreciation for physical media as a lasting, reliable way to enjoy films, even in a world increasingly dominated by digital access. As a result, more people are holding onto their DVDs and Blu-rays, recognizing that they could become valuable assets in the future.
For fans of 28 Days Later and collectors of rare movies, the demand for physical copies shows no signs of slowing down, particularly as streaming continues to fluctuate in availability.
