Paramount Home Entertainment Doubles-Up On Mean Girls With An Apr. 30 Full Spread Physical Media Launch Of Mean Girls (2024) And A 4K Ultra Edition Of Mean Girls: 20th Anniversary Edition

DVD & Blu-ray Release Report, Ralph Tribbey, @dvdblurayreport
More nasty, rotten, mean girls than you can shake a stick at is what Paramount Home Entertainment has in store for you on Apr. 30 with the tandem release of Tina Fay and Rosaline Wiseman’s reworking of Mean Girls, plus a 20th anniversary celebration of director Mark Waters’ Mean Girls (originally co-written by Fay and Wiseman).

The “new” Mean Girls (2024) will be a full spread of physical media product offering … all stand-alone editions for the 4K Ultra HD, Blu-ray and DVD formats.

The ARR comes in at 109 days and the domestic box office gross thus far stands at $69.2 million.

Bonus goodies include a gag reel, extend scenes, a trio of featurettes — “Song and Dance,” “A New Age of Mean Girl” and “The New Plastics” — a Mean Girls sing-along feature and the ReneĆ© Rapp and Megan Thee Stallion music video titled “Not My Fault.”

As for the 20th Anniversary of Mean Girls presentation, this will be a 4K Ultra HD only release.

Bonus features include commentary by director Mark Waters, who is joined by producer Lorne Michaels and writer Tina Fey, plus there are deleted scenes (with optional commentary), a blooper reel (titled “Word Vomit”), the newly minted featurette titled “Mean Girls: Class of ‘04” and three vintage featurettes — “Only the Strong Survive,” “The Politics of Girl World” and “Plastic Fashion.” 



Director Michael Powell's Peeping Tom (May 14) Headlines The Critrion Collection's May Release Calendar With A 4K Ultra HD Release • Anatomy Of A Fall (May 28) Also On Its Way

DVD & Blu-ray Release Report, Ralph Tribbey, @dvdblurayreport
The Criterion Collection announced its May slate of new film restorations this past week and there are some interesting films heading home during the month.

Top among these (and this is all subjective) is a new 4K digital restoration of director Michael Powell’s 1960 (1961 domestic) serial killer horror tale, Peeping Tom.

It will be available on May 14 as a new 4K Ultra HD/Blu-ray Combo Pack release (a Blu-ray only edition will also be available on that date).

If the film were titled something along the lines of The London Blood Stalker, or perhaps, The Terror of the Photo Killer … maybe even, Smile, You’re Dead … anything but Peeping Tom, the film would have seamlessly followed director Arthur Crabtree’s Horrors of the Black Museum (1959) and Filmmaker Sidney Hayes’ Circus of Horrors (1960) to these shores and into wide theatrical distribution.   

However, AIP (American International Pictures) took a pass on Peeping Tom, perhaps not fully appreciating how good Powell’s film was and how the relatively unknown (certainly of little marquee value) Karl Bohm’s chilling performance as Mark Lewis — the handsome young man who likes to photograph beautiful women while killing them — would, over time, be considered a classic horror entry.

DVD & Blu-ray Release Report, Ralph Tribbey, @dvdblurayreport
It did get a minor indie release domestically, but was soon forgotten.   Only as time passed was the significance of Peeping Tom as a genre entry fully realized.

Bonus features include two commentary options.  The first is with film scholar Laura Mulvey (“Visual Pleasure and Narrative Cinema”), while the second commentary option features film scholar Ian Christie (“A Matter of Life and Death”), two documentaries related to the film and video session with editor Thelma Schoonmaker.

In other release news for the month of May, the Criterion Collection has captured the domestic Blu-ray and DVD release rights for director Justine Triet’s Anatomy of a Fall.   The street date is May 28.

Nominated for five Oscars, including Best Picture and Best Director for Triet, plus a Best Actress nomination for Sandra Huller’s performance, Anatomy of a Fall arrives with an ARR of 228 days and a domestic box office gross of $4.6 million.

Bonus features include deleted and alternate scenes (with optional commentary), audition footage and a video session with Triet.


Universal Pictures Home Entertainment Looks To Feb. 27 For The Full Spread Physical Media Launch Of The Animation Hit Migration

DVD & Blu-ray Release Report, Ralph Tribbey, @dvdblurayreport
Universal Pictures Home Entertainment’s animated hit, Migration, will be available as a full-spread physical media product array on Feb. 27.

 The ARR is a quick-to-market 67 days and the domestic box office take currently stands at an impressive $110.1 million.

 Planned for distribution are Combo Pack editions for both the 4K Ultra HD (with Blu-ray) and Blu-ray (with DVD) formats, plus a stand-alone DVD edition.

 Bonus features kickoff with three “Mini-Movies” — Fly Hard, Mooned and Midnight Mission —which are teamed with five featurettes — “Microphone Madness,” “Meet the Cast,” “Taking Flight: The Making of Migration,” “The Art of Flight” and “The Sound of Flight.”

 Additionally, there is tutorial for how to draw Mack, Delroy, Chump and Gwen, plus a “how to” on making your own pop-up book, how to make duck sounds (“Mack Quack,” “Heron Honk” and the “Chump Chir”) and how to make a bird nest with water feeder.
