Universal Pictures Home Entertainment Readies The First Purge For Delivery To The Home Entertainment Marketplace On Oct. 2

When you are four films into a theatrical franchise series and you pull in $67.8 million it goes without saying that the series is, and remains, a hit!

Such is the case with writer James DeMonaco’s The Purge series of films.  The latest, which was announced for delivery to the home entertainment marketplace on Oct. 2 by Universal Pictures Home Entertainment, sees DeMonaco providing the script, with newcomer Gerard McMurray (Burning Sands) taking over the direction.

Although the fourth in the series, The First Purge, is a prequel and shows how the dystopian horror night came to be, with this level of box office acceptance you can expect to see additional entries in the series.

Until then, Oct. 2 — which yields an ARR of just 88 days — brings fans of the series a three-SKU helping of home entertainment products to select from.  There will be a stand-alone DVD edition, a Blu-ray/DVD Combo Pack and a 4K Ultra HD/Blu-ray Combo Pack presentation as well.
