What was lacking in that announcement was any mention of a street date for DVD, Blu-ray and 4K Ultra HD editions. One of the biggest movies of 2023 was being shunned in the physical media arena … that seemed odd, very odd.
Of course the “helpers” (pirates, bootleggers, etc.) were all over it, even to the point of soliciting pre-orders for Blu-ray and DVD editions of the film.
The wait is finally over, official copies from Walt Disney Studios Home Entertainment — stand-alone DVD and Blu-ray selections, plus a 4K Ultra HD/Blu-ray Combo Pack edition — will be available on Dec. 5.
The ARR works out to 158 days. Domestic box office receipts topped out at $174.5 million.
The “helpers” enjoyed at 90-day free reign on selling professionally packaged Blu-ray (and DVD) editions to consumers (unsuspecting or not) who wished to add Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny to their Harrison Ford/Indiana Jones film libraries.
As to bonus goodies, which are limited to the Blu-ray and 4K Ultra HD SKUs, there is an isolated music track featuring John Williams’ score of the film, plus a five-part “making-off” feature titled “The Making of Indiana Jones and The Dial of Destiny” — “Prologue,” “New York,” “Morocco,” “Sicily” and “Finale.”
