Writer/Director John Krasinski's Mixed Animated/Live Action Hit IF Gets A Full-Spread Physical Media Rollout On Aug. 27 From Paramount Home Entertainment

DVD & Blu-ray Release Report, Ralph Tribbey, @dvdblurayreport
Paramount Home Entertainment will be serving up a full spread of writer/director/producer John Krasinski’s mixed animated/live action hit, IF, on Aug. 27.

The ARR for IF (“Imaginary Friends”), starring Ryan Reynolds and Cailey Fleming (plus a who’s who of voice talents), works out to 88 days and the domestic box office haul currently stands at an impressive $100.9 million.

Planned for release are stand-alone editions across all three physical media formats — 4K Ultra HD, Blu-ray and DVD.

A premium VOD window opens on June 18, 32 days into the film’s theatrical run, which gives the very sophisticated “Helper” community eight full weeks to manufacture and ship counterfeit Blu-ray editions of their own to unsuspecting consumers (or consumers who simply don’t care about the source).

Bonus features, which are limited to the 4K Ultra HD and Blu-ray SKUs, include a gag reel, a tutorial titled “Learn to Draw Blue from IF” and a half-dozen featurettes — “The Imagination Behind IF,” “Give IFs a Voice,” “Blending the Real and the Imaginary,” “Tina Turner Forever!” and “The Imaginative World of IF.”
