When a film takes in a
quarter of a billion dollars at the box office there is more than a whiff of
franchise in the air. That’s what the
writing/directing team of Phil Lord and Christopher Miller — the same pair who
served-up Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs — are faced with as a result
of the mega-hit status of their latest, The Lego Movie. This film is a “building” block for a studio
franchise series!
That’s right, with $251.6
million in domestic ticket sales — that’s a lot of LEGOS no matter how you
stack’em —you can pretty much bank on a sequel at some point in the next couple
of years.
In the meantime, Warner
Home Video has announced that June 17 will be the street date for a three-SKU
home entertainment product offering.
The ARR for that mid-June release date works out to an ARR of 130 days.
Planned are a double-disc
DVD edition, a Blu-ray/DVD Combo Pack and the “Everything is Awesome Edition,”
which includes both 3D and 2D presentations of the film (on two separate
Blu-ray discs), plus a DVD and (drum roll please) an exclusive LEGO Vitruvius
minifigure and a 3D Emmet collectible photo.
Bonus nuggets include a
commentary option, outtakes, deleted scenes, a sing-along and a number of
production featurettes, including those titled: “Batman: A True Artist,”
“Michelangelo and Lincoln: History Cops” and “Enter the Ninjago.”
Exclusive to the
“Everything is Awesome Edition” is the featurette titled, “Dream Job: Meet The
LEGO® Builders.”
