One of the highest-grossing films of all time is heading to both Blu-ray formats in October.
In an early announcement to retailers, Universal will be releasing 'Jurassic World' on Blu-ray and Blu-ray 3D on October 20.
22 years after the events of Jurassic Park, an even bigger and enormously popular attraction has risen on Isla Nubar: Jurassic World. To keep attendance high, the park operators introduce a new, genetically modified hybrid creature called Indominus Rex. Bigger, stronger and far more intelligent than any dinosaur that ever walked the earth; the secretive new breed also proves more dangerous than anyone ever anticipated. When the massive creature escapes, chaos erupts across the island. Now it's up to Owen (Chris Pratt) and Claire (Bryce Dallas Howard) to save the park's tourists from an all-out prehistoric assault.
Shattering box office records globally, Jurassic World crushed the opening-weekend box-office, scoring the highest domestic, international and worldwide openings of all time. The film has taken in more than $1.6 billion globally to become the third-highest grossing film in history. More than two decades since Steven Spielberg's Jurassic Park was released, fans of the original films and new moviegoers alike can witness the story come full circle as the park that was only a promise comes to life.
Each combo pack will feature 1080p video, lossless 7.1 audio, and supplements include: WELCOME TO JURASSIC WORLD: An in-depth take on the creation, look and feel of Jurassic World. Director Colin Trevorrow and Steven Spielberg discuss how the idea of the film came together and how the casting was decided with actors' commentary on their roles and filming locations; JURASSIC WORLD: ALL-ACCESS PASS: Chris Pratt and Director Colin Trevorrow discuss key moments in the film, supported by behind-the-scenes footage and VFX breakdowns; INNOVATION CENTER TOUR WITH CHRIS PRATT: Chris Pratt gives a tour of the Innovation Center, a museum/exhibit, built just for the movie; JURASSIC'S CLOSEST SHAVES: Clips from all films in the franchise showing "near death" or extremely scary encounters with dinosaurs; DINOSAURS ROAM ONCE AGAIN: Behind the scenes look at the making of Jurassic World's visual effects, how the dinosaurs came to life, and actors filmed scenes; CHRIS & COLIN TAKE ON THE WORLD: Chris Pratt and Colin Trevorrow (Director) interview each other and discuss Jurassic World as well as the other Jurassic Park movies; and DELETED SCENES.
