2019 will be a vintage year for writer Stephen King,
especially in the home entertainment marketplace. The latest arrival is that of the directing
team of Kevin Kölsch and Dennis Widmyer’s 30th Anniversary remake of
Stephen King’s 1983 novel, Pet Sematary.
Paramount Home Media announced this past week that
the April theatrical release of Pet Sematary will
be departing from its multiplex venues for the home entertainment package media
arena on July 9. The ARR for that
early July street date works out to an industry-average of 95 days … box office
receipts came in at $54.5 million.
Planned for release are Combo Pack editions for both
the 4K Ultra HD (with Blu-ray) and Blu-ray (with DVD) formats, plus there will
be a stand-alone DVD edition.
In addition to this 2019 film version of Pet
Sematary being released as a 4K Ultra HD
edition, Paramount also served up director Mary Lambert’s original Pet
Sematary in March of this year as a new
4K Ultra HD product offering as well … and both Sony Pictures Home Entertainment
and Warner Bros. Home Entertainment, in recent days, have gone to their
respective film vaults for the release of 4K Ultra HD editions of Stand by
Me (Aug. 27) and The
Shining (Oct. 1). And, of course, fans King are eagerly
awaiting the two theatrical releases from Warner Bros. — It
Chapter Two on Sept. 6 and Doctor
Sleep on Nov. 8.
As to the bonus goodies for Paramount’s Pet
Sematary, which are exclusive to the Blu-ray/DVD Combo Pack and 4K Ultra
HD/Blu-ray Combo Pack editions, three is an alternate ending, deleted and
extended scenes and the three-part presentation titled “Night Terrors: Family
Haunting Visions,” featuring Louis (Jason Clarke), Rachel (Amy Seimetz) and
Ellie (Jeté Laurence). 
There are two featurettes — “The Tale of Timmy Baterman”
and “Beyond the Deadfall” — and the four-part production diary — “Chapter One:
Resurrection,” “Chapter Two: The Final Resting Place,” “Chapter Three: The Road
to Sorrow” and “Chapter Four: Death Comes Home.”
In other release news from Paramount Home Media this
past week, you can mark July 16 down on your viewing calendar as the street
date for Criminal Minds: The Fourteenth Season.
New member of the team — Daniel Henney as Matt
Simmons — parts stuffed in suitcases in Naples, Florida and some gruesome goings
in Detroit are just a few of the twists and turns in the latest full season of Criminal
Minds.
