Wow, Signature actually putting some work into a title? Pigs have flown.

Even comes with a nice slip cover and competition to win an adventure day out for 10 people.

They seem to have really pulled the stops out for this release. Ignoring the PAL running time typo, this is hopefully a sign of upped quality control and value added material for 2017.

English 5.1 & 2.0 tracks, an audio descriptive track and English HOH subtitles.

I've updated the UK listing.

P.S. it's also a "Region Free" release, with no PAL or 1080/50i video content on the BD.

Hunt for the Wilderpeople is controlled by Vertigo Films in the UK; Signature are the UK Home Video distributor for the film.

A little late to the party but does anyone know if this has been discontinued in the UK, or is it just sold out everywhere following the success of Jojo Rabbit?

I asked in HMV when they had the DVD reduced to £2.99 and was told it was discontinued, not even CEX has any copies, but musicMagpie has a used copy on eBay/Amazon for £16 including delivery. An eBay seller currently has a copy at £6 with 13 hours left on the clock. It was one of the titles Zoom had in their 2 for £10 several months back and like some other titles that have been in the clearance, it's been hard to acquire since then.

I find it criminal that no home video release of this features the Dolby Atmos mix - oh well, water under the bridge at this point.

I found it impossible to get hold of and even a used copy was £18 on MusicMagpie a few weeks ago.
I got the New Zealand release in the end for £16.90 new (and next day with Prime) on amazon uk. Region B and same as the Australian disc (which is technically superior to the UK disc anyway).

In what way? I've lost track of the specifics of the versions of the disc. I think I lucked into the UK disc when it was on sale for £5. I don't remember anything obvious in viewing it.

I knew I should have bought more copies when it was in Poundland...
