Universal Pictures Home Entertainment has set its home
entertainment release gaze to the post-Labor Day period with news this week
that producer-turned-director Alex Kurtzman’s The Mummy, starring Tom
Cruise, Annabelle Wallis, Sofia Boutella as Princess Ahmanet and Russell Crowe
as Dr. Henry Jekyll, will be hitting retail outlets on Sept. 12 as a three-SKU
array of consumer buying options.
The ARR for that date for this kick-off entry in Universal’s
new Dark Universe extension to its Universal Monsters series is 95 days and
domestic box office receipts currently stand right at $78 million.
Planned for release are a stand-alone DVD edition, a
Blu-ray/DVD Combo Pack and a 4K Ultra HD/Blu-ray Combo Pack.
The Mummy comes loaded with bonus goodies, which includes
commentary from director Alex Kurtzman, who is joined by actors Sofia Boutella,
Annabelle Wallis and Jake Johnson, deleted and extended scenes, and eight
production featurettes — “Cruise & Kurtzman: A Conversation Rooted in
Reality,” “Rooted in Reality,” “Life in Zero-G: Creating the Plane Crash,”
“Meet Ahmanet,” “Cruise in Action,” “Becoming Jekyll and Hyde,” “Choreographed
Chaos” and “Nick Morton: In Search of a Soul” and the animated graphic novel
titled “Ahmanet Reborn.”
Also getting a post-Labor Day street date this past week
from Universal Pictures Home Entertainment is the Bleeker Street production of
director Gabriela Cowperthwaite’s biopic, Megan Leavey, starring Kate Mara as
the U.S. Marine vet, wounded in combat, who goes to extraordinary lengths to
rescue her K9 teammate Rex before he is put down.
The ARR comes in at 88 days and the box office take was
$12.5 million.
The only bonus feature included with the home entertainment
launch is the featurette titled “Never Give Up.”
