Last week we mused that
the good folks over at Universal Studios Home Entertainment were clearing the
decks for some blockbuster action with a flurry of important, but nevertheless
lesser grossing summer films that needed to get placed on the release calendar
— and safely out of the way — before the heavy-hitters stepped to the plate.
2 Guns ($75 million) and World's End ($25.7
million) were set for a Nov. 19 launch, while Jobs ($16.1 million) was
given a Nov. 26 rollout date. That left
Despicable
Me 2 and Fast & Furious 6 as the proverbial “elephants in the
corner.”
Sure enough, Dec. 10 has
been tabbed as the street date … drum roll please … for not just one, but both
of these summer blockbusters!
DVD and Blu-ray/Combo
Pack (both with UltraViolet) As for Fast & Furious 6. The ARR is a leisurely 200 days and the box
office take this past summer was a monster $238.7 million (any bets on when F&F
7 gets a green light?).
Bonus goodies include
commentary from director Justin Lin (Annapolis, Fast and Furious, Fast
Five), deleted scenes, the four-part featurette titled, “The Making of
Fast & Furious 6” and a one-on-one featurette with Vin Diesel titled, “On
the Set with Vin.”
Exclusive to the Blu-ray
SKU is an extended cut of the film, plus an interactive feature titled “Take
Control.” There are five additional
production featurettes, including the multi-part “Planes, Tanks and
Automobiles,” which covers the major stunt set-pieces from the film.
Gru (voiced by Steve
Carell), Lucy (voiced by Kristen Wiig) and Gru’s Minions will be ready for
action on the same Tuesday in early December as Universal Studios Home
Entertainment unleashes a three-SKU product offering for Despicable Me 2.
The ARR is 158 days and
the box office take was an amazing $361.8 million!
Planned for consumers to
choose from will be a Blu-ray/DVD 3D/2D Combo Pack, a Blu-ray/DVD Combo Pack
and a stand-alone DVD edition (all with UltraViolet).
Bonus features include
commentary from co-directors Chris Renaud & Pierre Coffin and two
featurettes — “Gru’s Girls” and “Gadgets Galore.”
Exclusive to the Blu-ray
SKUs are three newly-created “mini movies” — “Puppy,” “Panic in the Mailroom”
and “Training Wheels” — a making-of featurette devoted to this “mini movies”
titled “The Making of the Mini-Movies,” four additional featurettes, including
one titled “El Hombre Malo: The Villainy of El Macho” and a deleted scene.
