20th
Century-Fox Home Entertainment was up bright and early Tuesday morning, Oct.1,
with the release news for director James Mangold’s latest edition to the X-Men
film franchise, The Wolverine.
We suspect that the first
couple of weeks of October are to going to be exceptionally busy as the
“Hollywood” studios stake out their calendar turf selections for the remaining
big-budget summer theatrical releases that will be headed to the home
entertainment market place during the fourth quarter of 2013.
Planned for Dec. 3 is a
three-SKU product offering of The Wolverine from Fox — a DVD
edition featuring the theatrical cut, Blu-ray/DVD Combo Pack edition (also the
theatrical cut) and a 3 Blu-ray/DVD Combo Pack titled The Wolvervine: Unleashed
Extended Edition (featuring a 3D version of the theatrical cut and a 2D
presentation of an unrated cut of the film — clocking in at extra 13 minutes in
running time).
The ARR is 130 days and
the domestic box office tally currently stands at $131.3 million.
As to special features
for this Hugh Jackman action thriller, the DVD has only one bonus goodie, a
featurette titled “Inspiration: A Ronin’s Journey.”
The Blu-ray/DVD Combo
Pack showcases an alternate ending, the “Second Screen” interactive production
of “The Path of the Ronin” and the featurette titled “X-Men: Days of Future
Past Set Tour.”
The “Unleashed Extended
Edition” SKU includes all of the aforementioned bonuses, plus commentary from
James Mangold.
Also heading to the
Blu-ray arena on Dec. 3 are eight film vault treasures selected by consumers as
part of 20th Century-Fox Home Entertainment’s “Voice Your Choice”
promotion.
The winners include two
starring Tyrone Power, Jesse James and Black Swan; a pair of
John Wayne films from the 1960s, North to Alaska and Undefeated;
plus Call
of the Wild, Ghost and Mrs. Muir, Carmen
Jones and Desk Set.
