Amazon Commissions Earned
There will be a “Ghostbusters Ultimate Collection“ on 4K UHD Blu-ray as a gift set coming on February 1st, 2022, to celebrate the home video release of the latest film in the franchise, via Sony Pictures Home Entertainment. The box set will physically include the following three films:
- “Ghostbusters” (1984)
- “Ghostbusters II” (1989)
- “Ghostbusters: Afterlife” (2021)
MAJOR UPDATE: Sony has just informed me that digitally this set will include the aforementioned films as well as “Ghostbusters” (2016) — but, only in digital form (via code on a paper insert). The other three films will come in the form of a “combo pack” with each receiving its Blu-ray Disc [physical] counterpart.
This set will come with some excellent physical extras, including:
- A collectible “ghost trap” packaging with lights
- A full 220-page reprint of the rare 1985 “Making GHOSTBUSTERS” book
And, this set will [for now exclusively] also include new versions of the first two “Ghostbusters” films on 4K that now feature Dolby Vision form of high dynamic range as well as HDR10 (each) in the 2.40:1 aspect ratio, along with Dolby Atmos sound. The tech specs for the third film include a 2160p video presentation in the 2.40:1 aspect ratio with HDR10 and Dolby Vision forms of high dynamic range as well as Dolby Atmos sound.
You can now find the “Ultimate Ghostbusters Collection“ on 4K UHD Blu-ray available for preorder over at Amazon. Also, here’s a full-size high-resolution shot of the contents of this set below.
This 8-disc set will also come with two “Special Features” discs which contain “over 20 hours of rare behind-the-scenes and must-see archival gems, including the full Preview Cut of the original movie and much, much more!” Those contents are detailed below.
