Warner Bros. Home
Entertainment has selected Apr. 24 for the home entertainment launch of
writer/director Paul King’s Paddington 2. DVD and Blu-ray/DVD Combo Pack editions will
be available.
The ARR for this
follow-up to King’s 2014 film franchise launch with Paddington works out to
102 days and domestic box office receipts currently stand at $39.8 million … a
third installment has been announced, but the future theatrical release date is
still a work in progress.
In this fun-filled
adventure, the loveable teddy bear named Paddington (voiced by Ben Whishaw — The
Hollow Crown, Cloud Atlas, A Hologram for the King, etc.) is wrongly
accused of stealing a valuable book and it falls to his adopted family, the
Browns (Hugh Bonneville and Sally Hawkins), to become detectives. We, as the audience, know it is the
dastardly Phoenix Buchanan (Hugh Grant), but proving it is going to be rough
sledding … and only the last-minute help of an unlikely hero saves the day!
Bonus features include
commentary by writer/director Paul King (Come Fly With Me, The Mighty Boosh),
a music video with Phoenix Buchanan and a half-dozen featurettes — “Paddington:
The Bear Truth,” “How to Make A Marmalade Sandwich,” “The Magical Mystery of
Paddington’s Pop-Up Book,” “The Browns and Paddington: The Special Bond,” “Knuckles:
A Fistful of Marmalade” and “The (Once) Famous Faces of Phoenix Buchanan.”
