Angelina Jolie's Salt Released On DVD During Tourist Backlash

Coincidence?

Angelina Jolie just received some controversial attention for her current flick, The Tourist - not only was the thriller nominated for Best Picture in the Musical/Comedy category at the Golden Globes, Jolie herself was also nominated for Best Actress in a Musical/Comedy.

The Tourist was pretty much panned by critics everywhere and has disappointed at the box office... but the opposite happened with Angie's earlier 2010 film Salt! That thriller earned $118 million at the domestic box office and far better reviews.

Both films are under the same studio umbrella - Sony Pictures - so it's possible to assume that Salt's DVD release today was carefully planned to remind the media and public at large that, in addition to The Tourist, Angelina Jolie has already starred in a critically and commercially successful film this year.

At the very least, the studio probably intended December to be a Jolie-centric month!
