Can you believe it already? May 2024 has nearly gone, and before we enter the month of June we thought we'd re-cap what has been announced recently. There's lots of good 4K UHD Blu-ray and Blu-ray releases coming in the near future, quite a few SteelBooks, and even a trio of Blu-ray 3D titles!
Are you up for a challenge? Amazon MGM Studios will release the steamy drama Challengers starring Zendaya on Blu-ray on July 9. However, it seems to be a barebones release, and there's no 4K yet anyway.
Fans of Paramount's Halo TV series will be able to own the second season on July 23. It will be available on Blu-ray and limited edition 4K UHD Blu-ray SteelBook.
The 1996 disaster flick Twister starring Helen Hunt, Bill Paxton, and Cary Elwes is coming to 4K UHD on July 9. A SteelBook will be available on the same date.
Classic film fans will be able to pick up Orson Welles' The Lady from Shanghai on 4K UHD on July 23.
Guy Ritchie's The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare will be hitting Blu-ray and 4K (including 4K SteelBook) on June 25. You can read all about that here.
On the same date, Warner Brothers celebrates the 40th Anniversary of the rock drama Purple Rain starring Prince with a 4K UHD Blu-ray release. If you're looking for a SteelBook, you'll have to import from the UK.
Also WB's third chapter in the animated Justice League: Crisis on Infinite Earths storyline will be getting a 4K UHD SteelBook and Blu-ray on July 23. The previous two installments are already out.
The Criterion Collection's August 2024 wave of 4K UHD Blu-ray and Blu-ray titles has been dated and detailed. The releases include Bernardo Bertolucci’s The Last Emperor in 4K, Brief Encounters / The Long Farewell: Two Films by Kira Muratova as well as Martha Coolidge's Not a Pretty Picture on Blu-ray, and two Albert Brooks' comedies - Real Life and Mother - sold separately on both formats. Full details here.
Looking for some new horror? The Australian spider monster movie Sting and The First Omen are headed for Blu-ray soon. Both will be hitting stores on July 30.
Godzilla x Kong: New Empire will be smashing its way to home video with a 4K UHD Blu-ray and Blu-ray release on June 11. And yep, there's a SteelBook.
And just when you thought 3D Blu-ray may have been going the way of the dodo, Turbine in Germany is keeping it alive with Jurassic World: Dominion, Minions: The Rise of Gru, and The Bad Guys - which are all region-free and now with Atmos soundtracks. You can check that out here. Not only that, Turbine has Chucky: Season One and Chucky: Season Two Blu-ray mediabooks on the way as well.
That's all we have for now, but be sure to keep checking out the website for future 4K, Blu-ray, SteelBook, and maybe even some more Blu-ray 3D announcements and definitely let us know what you will be picking up on social media!
