Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom

Thanks to Big Pauly (aka cudzndrips) on Facebook I see HMV have the exclusive of this up for pre-order already (I can't see a thread here but if I missed it I apologise):

HMV exclusive 4K/3D/2D steelbook

[BigNickUK]

There is already a thread in the steelbook forum section however there is no general thread in the UK section so I have amended the title to generically discuss the UK releases

[OgamiittoMcJ]

so are these releases, all getting the same art or still TBC ?

[OgamiittoMcJ]

so how many people will have to get the SB to match the others you got in Zoom Deals ?

This is the only one for me as it's all formats.

True; a bit cunning of HMV swooping in there... maybe Zoom were unwilling to do all formats due to price(?) or unwilling to do another 4K exclusive as they still seem to have a lot left of the other 4 they got exclusives for and may have lost profit based on the number of damaged ones that have been reported here (and realise they have to up their steelbook postal protection especially for steelbook exclusives).

Is this likely to be region free?

There is no region coding with 4K,the BD is almost certainly free as it’s a Universal release.

Thanks, getting the BD and with it and Solo coming out around the same time and better UK prices, time for some more imports.

Just received an email from Amazon confirming the release date of 5th November.

What on Earth is taking so long?? That's a whopping five months after the cinema release and almost two months later than the US release!

I've heard (dunno if it's true mind) that UK cinemas insist that the gap between theatrical and home video releases is five months minimum.

It's usually 4 months here. Around 3 months in the US.

That’s definitely wrong. The trend is about 4 months.

One of the benefits of Blockbuster going down the shitter, is that we don't get those windows between cinema, rental and retail in the UK any more.

I quite miss that in all honesty. built anticipation for seeing the film again after 6 months then being able to own your own copy after another 6 months

now days when I buy a Blu-ray, chances are I still have the cinema ticket in my wallet for the same film with the release window is that close together.

[drush9999]

The longer time frames between cinema and home video of yesteryear actually gave a movie more legs and time to breath.

While I don't think it's a bad thing now, it certainly feels like movies are throwaway entertainment that get forgotten about after a few months.

As expected, Sainsbury's will offer exclusive 2-disc editions for both Blu-ray and DVD.



Keep in mind the bonus disc is most likely a DVD (same as the US Target edition), and the extra featurettes could well be uploaded to the official Jurassic World YouTube channel in HD, just as the previous movie's bonus extras were later (and a whole lot more).

Reading reviews of the American release two months ago, as well as waving at other releases around the world as they sail past has really dampened my enthusiasm for it. I'll be picking it up second-hand after Christmas.
