Blu-ray Release Date & Special Features For WARCRAFT Revealed
Universal Pictures Home Entertainment has officially detailed and announced release dates for the upcoming home video release of Duncan Jones' Warcraft. Come check it out!
Even though Warcraft wasn't able to make its mark in the United States, it did manage to perform more than admirably overseas, raking in a grand sum of over $433 million worldwide with nearly $220 million of that total coming from China alone. Whether or not those numbers result in a sequel is yet-to-be seen, but it's certainly not out of the realm of possibility just yet.
Universal Pictures Home Entertainment has officially announced the 4K Ultra HD, Blu-ray 3D, Blu-ray, DVD, and Digital HD release date for the Duncan Jones-directed film and have also unveiled the cover art and detailed the special features. The film will arrive on Digital HD on September 13 and will hit stores on Blu-ray, Blu-ray 3D, 4K Ultra HD, DVD, and On Demand two weeks later on September 27.
The extensive list of special features includes a number of behind-the-scenes featurettes, deleted scenes, a gag reel, exclusive interviews, and a lot, lot more. Check them out below and keep scrolling for the cover art and a Blu-ray announcement trailer:
