Sony Pictures Looks To Feb. 28 For The Home Entertainment Launch Of Whitney Houston: I Wanna Dance With Somebody

Sony Pictures Home Entertainment has selected Feb. 28 as the street date for both DVD and Blu-ray editions of director Kasi Lemmons’ biopic Whitney Houston: I Wanna Dance with Somebody, starring Naomi Ackie as the Grammy-winning recording legend.

The ARR is a swift-to-market 67 days, with domestic box office receipts currently standing at $23.4 million.

The film follows her career from the early 80s to her untimely death in February of 2012 at the Beverly Hilton from cocaine use and heart-related issues.

Bonus nuggets common to both the DVD and Blu-ray SKUs are a trio of featurettes — “Moments of an Icon,” “Becoming Whitney” and “The Personal Touch.”

Exclusive to the Blu-ray edition are deleted scenes and the “Whitney’s Jukebox” feature.
