Lionsgate Home Entertainment Tabs Apr. 24 For The Home Entertainment Launch Of Writer/Director Scott Cooper’s Hostiles


DVD & Blu-ray Release Report, Ralph Tribbey
After a few rough weeks over at Lionsgate Home Entertainment with getting timely press announcements out for the likes of A24 Films’ Oscar-contenders, Lady Bird (Mar. 6) and Disaster Artist (Mar. 13), as well as their own theatrical release of director Jaume Collet-Serra’s The Commuter (Apr. 17), they were finally back on track this week with a timely announcement for the Entertainment Studios Motion Pictures’ production of writer/director Scott Cooper’s Hostiles.

Consumer choices on Apr. 24 will be a stand-alone DVD edition, a Blu-ray/DVD Combo Pack selection and a 4K Ultra HD/Blu-ray Combo Pack.   The ARR works out to 123 days and ticket sales currently stand at $29.1 million.

This anachronistic Western, starring Christian Bale and Rosamund Pike falls into the Lionsgate Home Entertainment release network as the result of Byron Allen’s 2016 distribution deal with Anchor Bay Entertainment, which was subsequently acquired by Lionsgate.   

Bonus goodies include a three-part making-of documentary titled A Journey to the Soul: The Making of Hostiles, plus three featurettes — “Provenance,” “Removing the Binds” and  “Don’t Look Back.”
