Warner Bros. Home Entertainment Tabs Mar. 8 As The Street Date For Matrix Resurrections

Warner Bros. Home Entertainment revealed this past week that writer/director Lana Wachowski’s The Matrix Resurrections will be arriving home on Mar. 8 as a three-SKU home entertainment package media array of product offerings.

The ARR is 74 days and domestic ticket sales registered $36.6 million.

Planned for release are Combo Pack editions for the 4K Ultra HD (with Blu-ray) and Blu-ray (with DVD) formats, plus a stand-alone DVD buying option.
Bonus features exclusive to the Blu-ray and 4K Ultra HD Combo Pack SKUs include six production featurettes — “No One Can be Told what the Matrix Is,” Resurrecting the Matrix,” “Neo x Trinity: Return to the Matrix,” “Allies + Adversaries: The Matrix Remixed,” “Matrix for Life” and “The Matrix Reactions” (which is a nine-part presentation).

In other release news from Warner Bros. Home Entertainment this past week, there will be three new-to-Blu-ray releases culled from the studio’s vast film library that will be making their way home during the month of February.

Monterey Bay and the iconic Cannery Row double for Norway in director Lewis Milestone’s 1943 film adaptation of William Woods’ 1942 novel, Edge of Darkness, teaming Errol Flynn and Ann Sheridan as residents of a Norwegian fishing village who rise up against the Nazi invaders.

The Blu-ray debut date for Edge of Darkness will be Feb. 22.

Told in flashback, we see the results of the pitched-battle that will soon unfold when a Nazi relief column arrives to discover the village of Trollness littered with scores of dead bodies and the entire German garrison whipped out.  The population of the town puts up with more and more, until they finally reach a breaking point … a bloodbath ensues.

Bonus features include the 1944 short film titled Gun to Gun and the 1943 theatrical cartoon starring Elmer Fudd and Daffy Duck, To Duck … or Not to Duck.

Also heading home in February on Blu-ray are Gold Diggers of 1933 (Feb. 8) and the 1948 version of The Three Musketeers (Feb. 15), directed by George Sidney and starring Gene Kelly, Lana Turner and June Allyson.
