Despite a positive reception from both fans and critics alike, Disney/Lucasfilm's Solo: A Star Wars Story didn't manage to leave much of an impression at the worldwide box office, earning roughly $385 million to date on a massive production budget that's estimated to be in the $275 million range.
Earlier today, Walt Disney Home Entertainment officially announced that the Ron Howard-directed spinoff will arrive on Digital HD on September 14 and will then make its way to 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray, Blu-ray, DVD and On-Demand on September 25.
There's also a ton of special features, including an in-depth roundtable discussion on the making of the film and behind-the-scenes featurettes. Plus, fans will also get to enjoy eight never-before-seen deleted scenes, including an extended version of the first meeting between Han Solo (Alden Ehrenreich) and Chewbacca (Joonas Suotamo).
