Though Jurassic World Rebirth is still in theaters - and continuing to perform very well - Universal Pictures has announced that the latest instalment in the block-busting franchise will be available to rent or purchase on Digital platforms from tomorrow, ahead of its Blu-ray/DVD debut on September 9.
The Digital release will feature over an hour of bonus material, including "Deleted Scenes, Alternate Opening and Bonus Content not seen in theaters" (you'll find a full list below).
Although the movie was marketed as a new beginning for the franchise, it was far from a full reboot, and after Rebirth's box office success, it wouldn't exactly be a surprise if the studio had its eye on a direct sequel with the same cast and director.
Scooper MTTSH recently reported that a follow-up is in the early planning stages, with Gareth Edwards and Scarlett Johansson likely to return.

FEATURE COMMENTARY WITH DIRECTOR GARETH EDWARDS, PRODUCTION DESIGNER JAMES CLYNE, AND FIRST ASSISTANT DIRECTOR JACK RAVENSCROFT
Five years after the events of Jurassic World Dominion, the planet’s ecology has proven largely inhospitable to dinosaurs. Those remaining exist in isolated equatorial environments with climates resembling the one in which they once thrived. The three most colossal creatures across land, sea and air within that tropical biosphere hold, in their DNA, the key to a drug that will bring miraculous life-saving benefits to humankind.
Academy Award nominee Scarlett Johansson plays skilled covert operations expert Zora Bennett, contracted to lead a skilled team on a top-secret mission to secure the genetic material. When Zora’s operation intersects with a civilian family whose boating expedition was capsized by marauding aquatic dinos, they all find themselves stranded on a forbidden island that had once housed an undisclosed research facility for Jurassic Park. There, in a terrain populated by dinosaurs of vastly different species, they come face-to-face with a sinister, shocking discovery that has been hidden from the world for decades.
Jurassic World Rebirth also stars Manuel Garcia-Rulfo, Luna Blaise, David Iacono, Audrina Miranda, Philippine Velge, Bechir Sylvain, and Ed Skrein. Edwards directs from a script by Jurassic Park screenwriter David Koepp.
