The 2011 comedy “Bridesmaids“ is coming to 4K UHD Blu-ray on May 12th via Universal Studios Home Entertainment.

It’s worth noting that the movie is celebrating its 15th Anniversary, with a majority of the cast having a reunion onstage at the 2026 Academy Awards just this past Sunday. Paul Feig directed the movie, which Kristen Wiig co-wrote, and Judd Apatow produced. It starred Kristen Wiig, Maya Rudolph, Rose Byrne, Wendi McLendon-Covey, Ellie Kemper, and Melissa McCarthy. The supporting cast included Rebel Wilson, Chris O’Dowd, Matt Lucas, Tim Heidecker, and Terry Crews.

The tech specs for the 4K UHD Blu-ray include a 2160p video presentation in a 2.40:1 aspect ratio, Dolby Vision (HDR10 compatible) high dynamic range, and Dolby Atmos sound, on a BD-100 disc. The release will be a 2-disc “combo pack” with its Blu-ray Disc counterpart included. This release will feature both the UNRATED [131 minutes] cut and the theatrical version [125 minutes], both in 4K. This will include a digital code (copy) of the film compatible with Movies Anywhere.

The 4K UHD Blu-ray is now available for preorder at Amazon. Bonus material included with the release is listed below.

  • Made of Honor: Behind the Scenes of Bridesmaids
  • Deleted Scenes

“The Happytime Murders” with Melissa McCarthy comes to Blu-ray in November

It seems that the 2018 Brian Henson directed film “The Happytime Murders“ is already slated for a Blu-ray Disc release on November 20th via Universal, according to an early alert to retailers. Tech specs and bonus materials for the release have not yet been detailed but stay tuned for updates, especially once the studio officially announces it and such. The release seems will be a “combo pack” with a DVD and Digital Copy of the film included. The Blu-ray is available for PRE-ORDER over at Amazon and Best Buy.

EDITORIAL NOTE: File this as a RUMOR, and specifically one under: “Wow that was quick!” It seems that perhaps the bad reviews from critics may be why this film, just released in late, late August (a week ago), is already slated for a home video release. If you don’t believe me, take a look at its current score over at Rotten Tomatoes and read a review snippet or two. It doesn’t seem to have been too well received by the critics, nor even totally audiences as its rating on Rotten Tomatoes (for audiences) and over at IMDb prove. This quick of a theatrical to home video turnaround is pretty rare. While this may be a rumor, I think the retailer indicating the release date is a dependable source and is very likely correct. Again, stay tuned for updates regarding this release.
