With Comic-Con just around the corner, we've had a lot of big Blu-ray announcements this week. First, Walt Disney Home Entertainment announced the release dates for both Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 and Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales, then it was Fox Home Entertainment with the announcement of SDCC-Exclusive vinyl editions for five of their films, including Logan & Deadpool, and now, Universal Pictures Home Entertainment has announced the home video release date for their Dark Universe launching pad The Mummy.
The Tom Cruise-led film will arrive on Digital HD on August 22, followed by a 4K Ultra HD, Blu-ray, and DVD release on September 12.
While a domestic disappointment, The Mummy was able to find an international audience and to date, has grossed over $385.49 million worldwide, which should be a decent enough start for the Dark Universe. However, it does put a lot of added pressure on the next installment, Bill Condon's Bride of Frankenstein, which is due out February 15, 2019.
