Sony Pictures Home Entertainment Moves Director Carlos Saldanha's Harold And The Purple Crayon From Theatrical Venues To The Physical Media Marketplace In Just 67 Days

Sony Pictures Home Entertainment, when not guiding the product of a rival studio — Walt Disney Studios Home Entertainment — to market, actually has a physical media release slate that belongs to them. 

To that point, both DVD and Blu-ray editions (both stand-alone) of director Carlos Saldanha’s film adaptation of Crockett Johnson’s 1955 children’s classic, Harold and the Purple Crayon, will be available on Oct. 8.

The ARR is a quick-to-market 67 days and the domestic box office take currently stands at $17.6 million.

Bonus features included on the DVD and Blu-ray editions of Harold and the Purple Crayon (which had a thirty-year odyssey from rights acquisition to the screen) are deleted and extended scenes, the Boots Ottestad and Jordy Searcy “Colors” sing-along and two featurettes — “How to Draw Harold, Porcupine and Moose” and “How Do You Spell Imagination?”
