Walt Disney Studios Home
Entertainment is getting an early start on the Christmas-selling season with a
pair of August release dates for two of its recent theatrical outings.
With Captain America: The Winter
Soldier a likely post-Labor Day anchor product offering (plus whatever
else might click this summer … Million Dollar Arm, Maleficent,
Planes:
Fire and Rescue, etc.), room has to be made so both Need
for Speed and Muppets Most Wanted get long-lead
announcements for delivery to retail in August.
Streeting Aug. 5 is
director Scott Waugh’s crime thriller, Need For Speed, starring Breaking
Bad’s
Aaron Paul. A Blu-ray/DVD Combo Pack and
a stand-alone DVD edition are planned .
The ARR is 144 days and
the box office take was a nice $43.2 million.
Bonus features include
the featurette titled “Capturing Speed” … exclusive to the Blu-ray SKU are
commentary from filmmaker Scott Waugh and actor Aaron Paul, outtakes, four
deleted scenes and two additional featurettes.
Director James Bobin’s
latest adventure featuring Kermit the Frog, Missy Piggy and the rest of the
Muppets, Muppets Most Wanted, will head home the following week, Aug.
12.
The ARR for DVD and
Blu-ray/DVD Combo Pack editions also works out to 144 days and the box office
tally was a soft $50 million (his previous, The Muppets, in 2011
pulled in over $88 million — clearly Amy Adams is a better draw than snarky SNL
alum, Tina Fey).
Bonus features for the
DVD are limited to a music video, while the Blu-ray SKU features both the
theatrical cut of the film and “The Statler and Waldorf Cut” (extended), a
blooper reel, a featurette titled “Rizzo’s Biggest Fan” and the aforementioned
music video by Bret McKenzie titled “I’ll Get You What You Want.”
