Universal Pictures Home Entertainment Tabs Jan. 28 For Home Entertainment Launch Of Both Parasite And Harriet


DVD & Blu-ray Release Report, Ralph Tribbey
Universal Pictures Home Entertainment announced this past week that Korean filmmaker Bong Joon-Ho's front-runner for the Best Foreign Language Oscar — oops, the new politically-correct category this year is Best International Feature Film (which is absolutely silly since a lot of your big budget productions are international endeavors) — Parasite, will be heading home as DVD and Blu-ray product selections on Jan. 28.

The ARR is 109 days and domestic ticket sales currently stand at $19.3 million … throw in over $100 million in international markets and rave reviews and it becomes clear why Parasite is the film to beat.

Parasite is presented in Korean with English subtitles.

Surprisingly, bonus features are limited to a Q&A session with director Bong Joon-Ho (The Host, Snowpiercer).

DVD & Blu-ray Release Report, Ralph TribbeyAlso heading home on Jan. 28 from Universal Pictures Home Entertainment is director Kasi Lemmons’ Harriet, a biopic on the life and times of Harriet Tubman starring Cynthia Erivo (Bad Times at the El Royale) as the iconic abolitionist.

The ARR is 88 days and domestic box office receipts are $40.9 million.

Planned for release are DVD and Blu-ray/DVD Combo Pack editions.

Bonus features begin with commentary from filmmaker Kasi Lemmons (Eve’s Bayou, The Caveman’s Valentine), deleted scenes and two featurettes — “Her Story” and “Becoming Harriet.”
