20th
Century-Fox Home Entertainment has nothing but problems these days! First, everyone over on the Fox lot is
looking at the on-rushing Disney tidal wave (buy-out), which will be bad. Fox is creative, Disney is a machine … there
is a difference.
The other problem that
plagues 20th Century-Fox Home Entertainment these days is … where do
you put all of the Best Picture nominees?
They have to find homes
for Three
Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri (the likely Best Picture winner), The
Shape of Water (a strong contender) and Spielberg’s over-rated, The
Post.
Oh yes, we almost forgot
that they also have another Best Pictures contender, director Carlos Saldanha’s
Ferdinand,
which is competing in the Best Animated Feature Film category. It’s probably hopeless as Disney’s (actually
Pixar) juggernaut, Coco, is a prohibitive favorite to take home the gold.
So with so many irons in
the fire, this week it was Ferdinand that got its marching
orders with a Mar. 13 release date for a three-SKU array of home entertainment
products — DVD, Blu-ray/DVD Combo Pack and 4K Ultra HD/Blu-ray Combo Packs
selections.
The ARR is a zippy 88
days and ticket sales currently stand at a solid $79.2 million.
As to bonus goodies,
there is the music video titled “Home” (by Nick Jonas) and an eye-popping ten
production featurettes — “Ferdinand's Guide to Healthy Living,” “A Goat's Guide
to Life,” “Ferdinand's Team Supreme,” “Spain Through Ferdinand's Eyes,” “Confessions
of a Bull-loving Horse,” “Creating the Land of Ferdinand,” “Anatomy of a Scene:
The Bull Run,” “Learn to Dance with Ferdinand,” “Ferdinand's Do-It-Yourself
Flower Garden” and “Creating a Remarka-Bull Song.”
