Amazon Commissions Earned

The 2022 sequel “Jurassic World: Dominion” is officially coming to 4K UHD Blu-ray and Blu-ray Disc on August 16th via Universal Studios Home Entertainment.  The film, directed by Colin Trevorrow, stars Chris Pratt, Bryce Dallas Howard, Laura Dern, Sam Neill, Jeff Goldblum, DeWanda Wise, Mamoudou Athie, BD Wong, and Isabella Sermon.

The tech specs for the 4K UHD Blu-ray include a 2160p video presentation in the 2.00:1 aspect ratio with HDR10 & Dolby Vision forms of high dynamic range and DTS:X immersive sound, on a BD-100 disc.  The tech specs for the Blu-ray include a 1080p HD video presentation in the 2.00:1 aspect ratio with DTS:X sound, on a BD-50 disc.  Both releases will come in the form of a “combo pack” with the 4K getting its Blu-ray counterpart, the Blu-ray getting its DVD counterpart, and each including a digital code (copy) of the film compatible with Movies Anywhere.

You can find both the standard 4K UHD Blu-ray and Blu-ray are now available for preorder over at Amazon.  It’s also worth noting that there will be a 4K UHD Blu-ray SteelBook release (pictured below) coming to all retailers which is also available for preorder.

Each release will include both the theatrical cut (147 minutes) and an extended version (160 minutes) of the film.  The bonus materials set to be included with the releases of this film are listed below.

It is also most certainly worth noting that there will be a “Jurassic World: Ultimate Collection“ 6-movie set available on 4K UHD Blu-ray (pictured below) as well as on Blu-ray, which are both now available for preorder over at Amazon.  This set includes the six films: “Jurassic Park” (1993), “The Lost World: Jurassic Park” (1997), “Jurassic Park III” (2001), “Jurassic World” (2015), “Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom” (2018), and “Jurassic World: Dominion” (2022).
