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).
Also 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.”
