Universal Pictures Home Entertainment Readies Writer/Director James Wakins' Speak No Evil (Nov. 19) And Filmmaking Chris Sanders' The Wild Robot (Dec. 3) For The Physical Media Markertplace

Universal Pictures Home Entertainment is busy moving current theatrical inventory into the physical media marketplace before 2024 comes to an end with the assignment of calendar slots for two recent hit films.

So let’s get right to it!!

First up, writer/director James Watkins’ English language remake of the Danish/Dutch horror tale, Speak No Evil (2022 by director Christian Taldrup), will be available on Nov. 19 as both DVD and Blu-ray product offerings.

The ARR is a quick-to-market 67 days and the domestic box office take was $35.2 million.
A premium VOD window opened on Oct. 1, which was just 18 days into the film’s domestic theatrical run.  The “Helper” community gets seven full weeks to move Blu-ray copies of their own to eager genre fans.

Bonus delights include commentary from Watkins and three production featurettes — “Nuclear Families,” “A Horrifying Crescendo” and “The Farmhouse of Horrors.”

Repeating the same release pattern — 67 days from theatrical to home entertainment, with a VOD premium window also of just 18 days — is writer/director Chris Sanders’ animated sci-fi adventure, The Wild Robot.

The street date will be Dec. 3, however instead of just DVD and Blu-ray product offerings, The Wild Robot will also include a 4K Ultra HD/Blu-ray Combo Pack purchasing option.
Bonus goodies include an impressive nine featurettes — “Commercial for Rozzum,” “Moments from the Mic,” “Meet the Cast,” “The Overprotective Mother,” “Assembly Required: Animating The Wild Robot,” “Feeling Alive,” “Wild Sounds,” “How to Draw” and “Fly Your Own Brightbill.”
