Two weeks in a row
amazon.com jumped out in front of a formal press announcement from 20th
Century-Fox Home Entertainment for first, Kingsman: The Golden Circle on Dec.
12, and then director Hany Abu-Assad’s The Mountain Between Us on Dec.
26.
20th Century-Fox Home
Entertainment made it official this past Thursday (Nov. 16), with a
confirmation of the Dec. 26 release for The Mountain Between Us. Amazon.com had it right for both of these
new theatrical hits, which means that the retail giant is either getting
advanced information from inside the studio … or amazon.com is deliberately
ignoring embargoed release information. Either
way it is not good for the industry to have a rogue retailer running amok. But what can a studio do?
As to bonus nuggets for The
Mountain Between Us, there are deleted scenes and a trio of production
featurettes — “Love and Survival: Creating Chemistry,” “Mountain Between Them:
Shooting in Isolation” and “The Wilds: Survival Stunts.”
Exclusive to the Blu-ray
and 4K Ultra HD SKUs are commentary by director Hany Abu-Assad.
This week 20th
Century-Fox Home Entertainment announced that the directing team of Jonathan Dayton and Valerie Faris’ biopic, Battle
of the Sexes — the 1973 showdown between Billie Jean King (played by
Emma Roberts) and Bobby Riggs (Steve Carell) — will be available on Jan. 2 as
both DVD and Blu-ray/DVD Combo Pack editions.
The ARR is 102 days and
ticket sales were light at just $12.4 million.
Bonus features include
three featurettes — “Raw Footage: Billie Jean’s Grand Entrance,” “Reigniting
the Rivalry” and “Billie Jean King: In Her Own Words.”
