Sony Pictures Home Entertainment has tabbed Aug. 24 as the street date for a three-SKU helping of writer/director Will Gluck’s live action and CGI tale, Peter Rabbit 2, starring Rose Byrne, Domhnall Gleeson, David Oyelowo and the voice of James Corden as the rabbit named Peter … with the voice of Margot Robbie as Flopsy, the narrator.
The ARR is a swift-to-market 74 days and domestic box office receipts currently stand at $39.3.
Planned for release are a stand-alone DVD edition, plus Combo Packs for both the 4K Ultra HD (with Blu-ray) and Blu-ray (with DVD) formats.
Bonus goodies include two featurettes — “Bunnies, Baddies, and the Big City: The Making of Peter Rabbit 2” and “Mrs. Tiggy-Winkle's Wee Little Kitchen” — plus how-to videos titled “Bea's Crafting Corner: DIY Bunny Bookmarks” and “Bea's Crafting Corner: Create Your Own Woodland Terrariu.”
Sony Pictures Home Entertainment also added to the release calendar this past week a 4K Ultra HD/Blu-ray Combo Pack collection of all five movies from the vampire versus werewolf Underworld film franchise.
We begin with director Len Wiseman’s 2003 launch, Underworld, starring Kate Beckinsale as Selene, a “Death Dealer” out to destroy all werewolves, but discovers some nasty secrets when she teams up with a “human” by the name of Michael (Scott Speedman). The 4K Ultra HD edition includes both the theatrical cut and the extended presentation of the film.
We pick up their story in 2006 with the direct-sequel, Underworld: Evolution, which is followed in 2009 with a “prequel” to the first film and is titled Underworld: Rise of the Lycan … Kate Beckinsale is only seen in cameo performance, with the real focus of the film on Lucian (Michael Sheen) and Viktor (Bill Nighly).
In 2012 we return to the storyline established with Underworld: Evolution and the return of Kate Beckinsale as Selene with the release of Underworld: Awakening, which turned out to be a box office hit despite being the fourth film in the series (usually you begin to see decay in the revenue returns). The new character of Eve (India Eisley), the daughter of Selene and Michael, is introduced.
Rounding out the five-film collection is the 2016 release of Underworld: Blood Wars.
The Blu-ray companion discs include all of the previously released bonus features.
