Hot on the heels of the leaked special features the other day, 20th Century Fox have now officially announced The Predator home media releases. The 4K Ultra Blu-Ray, regular Blu-Ray and DVD releases of Shane Black’s sequel will be out in North America on December 18th, 2018 while you can get the digital releases on November 27th, 2018.
Bad news for people in the UK – we won’t get The Predator until January 2019 (January 11th – digital download, January 28th – Blu-Ray). It appears the leaked special features were more or less spot on – the exact translations were just a bit off.
The Predator Special Features
- Deleted Scenes
- A Touch of Black
- Predator Evolution
- The Takedown Team
- Predator Catch-Up
- Gallery
The runtime is 107 minutes so there’ll definitely be no special director’s cut. The 4K Blu-Ray comes with a Dolby Atmos track while the regular Blu-Ray comes with a DTS-HD MA 7.1 track. Surprisingly and I think for the first time out of all Alien and Predator films, there’ll be no director’s commentary track. You can preorder The Predator releases here on Amazon.co.uk or on Amazon.com.
In addition to those sets, there’ll be 4-disc set including all four Predator movies released at the same time.

I dunno if it's regionally blocked or just blocked but that's hilarious. Can anyone else get on?

I believe 3D is still very popular in China so we're also likely to get a Region Free released from there.
Won't know for sure until it's released. I'm UK so Region B is fine for me. With Fox releases, it's hit or miss as to whether they bother to region code them or not.
*Raises hand* I am a proud owner of a 3D television (and thought the 3D conversion of "Predator" was great by the way).
Do you know if the Finland, Denmark, Sweden or Norway release will be Region Free?
Oh don't you dare. I'd rather get used underwear worn by a Scary Mall Santa
Well now I know what to give you for Christmas. And I might just send you two!
Fair dos
If thats me. Sorry, i was booing the studio more than anything
That sucks but not unexpected.
Just an FYI - negative comments are welcome. Being a dick isn't.
I imagination Lynch goes shopping might be him winning the Winnebago.
They include:
- Traeger meets McKenna
- Lynch goes shopping
- Inspection of the house
- bloopers
Maybe there will be other stuff, my source tells me that's it though.
Oh sweet
I 100% agree with you that it's subjective and supporting a film, or not supporting a film in protest, can both be fairly categorized as "doing one's part". True, taking either position can have its own share of foreseeable backfires, but both can be classified that way nevertheless.
My commentary was only qualified to a specific position already taken, not to proclaim there is one position to take. At least, that is the way it was intended. As anything I say, I probably could use a few edits for clarification sake. Cheers!
Indeed quite so. This was a communications error on my part. I leaped from one thought, straight into another, without effectively bridging the gap.
Allow me to elaborate. My statement about what constituted "doing one's part" was not a defense of anyone or any activity, and certainly not a defense of illegal acts. It was merely an examination of what I believe "doing one's part" constitutes, in regards to supporting the theatrical run of the film. That it is a subjective process.
In other words, some may choose to support the film at release, others may not, and yet both may think they've done what's in the best interest of the franchise. It was merely a rebuttal to the idea that supporting this questionable movie in the theater was indeed, "doing one's part". That there was, in fact, no single correct answer to that notion.
As for illegal downloading, no, I don't support that. Never have, never will. It's theft, and theft is low business.
I agree with this sentiment... i.e. avoiding this release in it's entirety to make a statement both theatrically and on home video.
However when one suggests they have "done their part" by purchasing a ticket, in essense financially supporting said movie, while the other hand plans to illegally download a copy to view at home, i.e. not financially supporting its home release, it's ultimately a half-measure, a mixed signal, a way to self legitimize a reason to illegally download a copy for home viewing and save some money.
But either way, you probably can see, I personally do not support the illegal downloads of films.
And here I thought it was a joke about the weather in England or something.
As for "doing one's part", I think that is definitely subjective. Calling out problems and mistakes in a civil/respectful fashion is also doing one's part. Like when some people say you have to support your favorite sports team, even when they lose constantly, or you're not a true fan. I disagree with that notion. You locate the problem, and either remove it and/or press for change. That's how things improve.
So I did my part by not buying a ticket. I simply couldn't and wouldn't support the nutty approach this movie took with the franchise.
When supporting a franchise, purchasing a cinema ticket but bootlegging a home video copy is not fully doing one's part in my opinion.
I was kind of guessing the UK release would be a January 2019 release and the November 2018 USA digital release would be jumping the shark.
I hate to say it but.............this will be a torrential rain release for me.....
Well at least I bought a full priced cinema ticket, so I've done my part.
Interesting. It's probably for the best with this movie though. I don't think I could sit through both the film and an excuse track at the same time.
I can't provide an exact quote, but it's from what I've read various times online and the Blu-ray forums. I believe it's something around 17 weeks from cinema to DVD in the UK, as that's the agreement with the cinema chains for the theatrical distribution window.
Just as a note, but Shane Black never provided a commentary track with his last film, The Nice Guys, either.
I wasn't aware of that! Where did you read this?
Well, I'm certainly not too impressed with the details so far. Seems pretty bare. The lack of commentary is just...
Same here. I just can't justify 4k, and my minimalism can't tolerate a bunch of booklets/statues. I just want the movie. Disc goes in the wallet, case goes in recycling. No dust, no fuss, no wasted space.
Is that interior design concept art? Hmm. Not a big fan of that
Ah, I didn't know that. Thanks for explaining!
