Oh, you know they will. Cause they have no manners.

[flyry]

I loved this. Instant classic.

I'll be getting the UHD. There are already intl 4K's up for pre-order and you can pre-order the UHD on VUDU so its a guarantee to get it stateside.

[I-C-Blue]

I hope so. And I really hope this movie rakes in more at the North American Box Office because it so deserves it. It was an extremely lovable film.

The sad thing is the Digital Copy won't be iTunes now that it's a Warner release -___-

Yes it will be iTunes all warner brothers movies use movies anywhere now which links with iTunes so the code that will come with the paddington 2 bluray will give you an iTunes copy.

Brilliant franchise, I hope Paul King continues to write and direct, he's the soul of these films. I can't think of any live-action family films that have been at this level in decades, the films are exquisitely crafted and the scripts are at the level of the best Pixar films.

I'm sad to see this new one is flopping in the US, but I suspect it's down to it switching studios at the last minute, at least it was a big hit overseas, hopefully guaranteeing us a third film.

A third film would be whimsical and lovely. I can't wait to get "Paddington 2" on blu-ray. Definitely a strong sequel, and being an international viewer, I've seen a lot of buzz surrounding it, which made me happy.

Fantastic news. April is when the first Paddington released on Blu-ray as well if I'm remembering correctly. Day one if the price is right.

[WrathOfHan]

My theater dropped this quickly, so I missed my chance to see it. I'll be blind buying it providing WB's price isn't asinine.

I pre-ordered the 4K from Zavvi UK, not confident we will get one. Especially since it has been up on foreign Amazon sites for awhile.

Burbank, CA, February 27 – Bring home the critically-acclaimed family film when “Paddington 2” arrives on Blu-ray Combo Pack, DVD and Digital.

Following the worldwide hit “Paddington,” one of the most successful family films of all time, this much-anticipated sequel finds Paddington (Ben Whishaw) happily settled with the Brown family in London, where he has become a popular member of the local community, spreading joy and marmalade wherever he goes.

Reuniting many of the original film’s cast while welcoming those in new roles, “Paddington 2” stars Golden Globe nominee Hugh Bonneville (“Downton Abbey”), Oscar nominee Sally Hawkins (“Blue Jasmine”), three-time Golden Globe nominee Brendan Gleeson (“The Guard,” “Into the Storm,” “In Bruges”), Oscar nominee Julie Walters (“Billy Elliot,” “Educating Rita”), Oscar winner Jim Broadbent (“Iris”), and Oscar winner Peter Capaldi (short, “Franz Kafka’s It’s a Wonderful Life”), with Golden Globe and BAFTA Award winner Hugh Grant (“Four Weddings and a Funeral”), and BAFTA winner Ben Whishaw (“The Hollow Crown”) as the voice of Paddington. The starring ensemble also includes Madeleine Harris, Samuel Joslin, and Oscar nominee Imelda Staunton (“Vera Drake”) as the voice of Aunt Lucy.

The film was produced by multiple award-winning producer David Heyman (the “Harry Potter” films, “Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them,” Oscar nominee for “Gravity”). Serving as executive producers were Rosie Alison, Jeffrey Clifford, Alexandra Ferguson Derbyshire, Ron Halpern, and Didier Lupiter.

Paddington’s return to the big screen was again helmed by BAFTA-nominated director Paul King (“Paddington,” “Come Fly with Me,” “The Mighty Boosh”) from a script written by King and Simon Farnaby (Sky TV’s “Yonderland,” “Mindhorn”), based on the best-selling and internationally adored books by Michael Bond, creator of Paddington Bear.
