In a carefully
choreographed combo of release announcements, Warner Bros. Home Entertainment
fought off amazon.com’s attempts to set the release for the studio’s Best
Picture frontrunner, Dunkirk, and after two weeks worth
of cat-and-mouse games and rumors settled on Dec. 19. Dec. 19 is the perfect street date for
Christmas-season shoppers eager to add filmmaker Christopher Nolan’s masterful
tale about the Battle of Dunkirk to their home entertainment collections.
Now comes the next
announcement, and this is where Warner Bros. did it right. When you have a monster like Dunkirk
you don’t crush your own film products by announcing them all at once (i.e.
along with Dunkirk). They tend to
get lost in the Dunkirk … Dunkirk … Dunkirk news.
So this week Warner Bros.
Home Entertainment issued a formal press announcement that the filmmaking team
of Charlie Bean, Paul Fisher and Bob Logan’s CGI animated film, The
LEGO Ninjago Movie, will be joining Dunkirk on Dec. 19 as a four SKU
home entertainment product blitz.
The ARR comes in at 88
days and domestic ticket sales currently register $57.5 million.
Planned for release are:
a stand-alone DVD edition, a Blu-ray/DVD Combo Pack, a 3D/2D (double-disc)
Blu-ray edition and a 4K Ultra HD/Blu-ray Combo Pack selection.
All release
configurations include a trio of deleted scenes. Exclusive to the Blu-ray and 4K Ultra HD
choices are commentary by director Charlie Bean (and Crew), in his
feature-length debut (previously directing episodes for both TRON:
Uprising and Robotboy), outtakes, a quartet of
music videos (including “Found My Place” by Oh, Hush! & Jeff Lewis), three
“mini-movie” selections — “Which Way to the Ocean,” “Zane’s Stand Up Promo” and
“The Master” — plus three production featurettes — “Team Supreme: Building NINJAGO,”
“Rumble in the Bricks” and “Rebrick Contest Winners.”
