When retailers (we won’t say who, but they are usual
suspects) and at least one distributor (Ingram) gang up on poor Sony Pictures
Home Entertainment and say that director Jon Watts’ Spider-Man:
Far From Home will be heading home as a
three-SKU product offering (plus “exclusives”) on Oct. 1, you would like to
think that Sony would take some sort of punitive action about breaking the
“announce date,” but they won’t (so it will continue). Oct. 1 it is … despite no official press release.
The ARR for that date is just 88 days and domestic
multiplex revenues currently stand at a tasty $379.8 million.
Despite the late August blow-up between Sony and
Disney over future Marvel Comics Spider-Man
adventures, when you pull in those kind of box office numbers you can fully expect
yet a third (or more) film to be developed in the current series (Spider-Man:
Far From Home is a sequel to 2017 release of Spider-Man:
Homecoming).
As for consumer home entertainment packaged media
selections, there will be a stand-alone DVD edition, plus Combo Pack options
for both the 4K Ultra HD (with Blu-ray) and Blu-ray (with DVD) formats.
Bonus features, which appear to be limited to the
Combo Pack SKUs, include deleted scenes, a blooper reel, at least four
featurettes — “Far, Far, Far From Home,” “Suit Up,” “Fury & Hill” and
“Thank You, Mrs. Parker” — plus the short film titled “Peter’s To-Do List.”
