Universal Pictures Home
Entertainment will open the New Year with director Doug Liman’s
biopic/adventure, American Made, starring Tom Cruise as Barry Seal, former TWA
pilot turned drug smuggler.
Slated for release on
Jan. 2, Universal will be shipping DVD, Blu-ray/DVD Combo Pack and 4K Ultra
HD/Blu-ray Combo Pack editions to retailers on the first street-date Tuesday of
2018.
The ARR is 95 days and
domestic box office receipts currently stand at $48.5 million.
When you smuggle drugs,
make deals with Pablo Escobar and the CIA it will eventually end with your
blood on the sidewalk. The trailer gave
the impression that Cruise was playing an adult version of “Joel,” his
wheeler-dealer character in Risky Business, and maybe that’s the
best way to sell a film in which the star ends up being murdered ... there was
just no happy ending in store for Barry Seal.
Bonus goodies included
deleted scenes and a half-dozen featurettes — “American Storytellers,” “Cruise
and Liman: A Conversation,” “In the Wings,” “Shooting American Made,” “Flying
High” and “The Real Barry Seal.”
