Sony Pictures Home Entertainment made not one, but two announcements this past week relating to new theatrical releases making their transition to the home entertainment packaged media marketplace.
In street date order, we begin the release festivities with director Adam Robitel‘s Escape Room: Tournament of Champions, his follow-up to the 2016 release of Escape Room. The street date will be Oct. 5 for both DVD and Blu-ray editions.
Escape Room: Tournament of Champions arrives with an ARR of 81 days and the current box office tally stands at $25.2 million.
SKU configuration will be both stand-alone DVD and Blu-ray selections.
Six new “rats-in-a-deadly-maze” participants realize that they have been selected for the latest “test” because each of them had survived previous gauntlets set up by the sinister Minos Corporation. Included in the mix are Zoey (Taylor Russell) and Ben (Logan Miller) who survived the original Escape Room … can they do so again? Catch the action on Oct. 5 to find out!!
Bonus features, which are limited to the Blu-ray SKU, include an “extended cut” of the film (an additional twenty-five minutes worth of action) and a trio of featurettes — “Go Inside the Minos Escape Rooms,” “Meet the Players” and “Director Adam Robitel on Raising the Stakes.”
The other new theatrical release from Sony Pictures Home Entertainment arriving in October is writer/director Rodo Sayagues’ Don't Breathe 2, which will be available on Oct. 26 as a three-SKU selection of home entertainment packaged media products.
The ARR is a swift-to-market 74 days (timed to hit the Halloween promotional period) and box office receipts currently stand at $30.3 mullion.
As to SKU configuration, there will be a 4K Ultra HD/Blu-ray Combo Pack and stand-alone DVD and Blu-ray editions.
Exclusive to the 4K Ultra HD and Blu-ray SKUs are commentary by filmmaker Rodo Sayagues, a never-before-seen alternate ending and three featurettes — “Friends & Filmmakers,” “Bad Man (Slang is Back)” and “Designing Deception.”
