Universal Pictures Home Entertainment expanded its
post-Labor Day release calendar this past week with the news that director Gary
Ross’ Civil War tale, Free State of Jones, will be
available as both DVD and Blu-ray product offerings on Sept. 20.
The ARR for this STX Entertainment production starring
Matthew McConaughey as the anti-Confederate revolt leader, Newton Knight, works
out to a swift-to-market 88 days.
Ticket sales currently stand at $20.4 million.
The only bonus goodie is the featurette titled “The History
of Jones County.”
The first foray into the September release realm for
Universal occurred about a week ago with the Sept. 6 street date for director
Greg McLean’s possessed-house thriller, The Darkness, starring Kevin Bacon,
who has to battle demons inadvertently brought home from a camping trip by his
son.
The film pulled in $10.7 million from its theatrical run back
in May, arrives as both Blu-ray and DVD selections and the ARR is 116 days.
Bonus features for The Darkness include an alternate
ending and deleted scenes.
