Such a horrible title for a decent movie. Then they tried to rename it for home video and just made it worse! It’s like they hired the team that names Microsoft products.

The original name was live, die, repeat. And i think it goes way harder.

Other way around. The theatrical release was "Edge of Tomorrow" with "Live, die, repeat" as the tagline. The tagline was more recognizable than the title, so the titled the home release after the tagline. The sequel, if it ever makes it out of development hell, is just going straight for the home release title as "Live Die Repeat and Repeat."
