What do you know? We have one MORE update for you today, and it’s a big one!

Disney and Marvel have just announced the Amazon-exclusive Blu-ray release of the Marvel Cinematic Universe: Phase Two Collection. The street date is TBA, but you can expect it in time for the holidays. The 13-disc set will include Iron Man 3, Thor: The Dark World, Captain America: The Winter Soldier, Guardians of the Galaxy, Avengers: Age of Ultron, and Ant-Man, each in Blu-ray 3D, Blu-ray, and digital copy versions. The set will also contain a Top-Secret Bonus Disc and more (details TBA) including “collectible, specially designed disc holders and exclusive Marvel memorabilia.”  [Read on here…]

First things first today: Our own Michael Coate has turned in a new History, Legacy & Showmanship column in which he looks back at the original roadshow release of Sweet Charity, which celebrates its 45th anniversary today. The piece includes a great and lengthy roundtable interview with a trio of leading experts on the film’s history, so don’t miss it. Enjoy!

In other news today, Disney has revealed that Thor: The Dark World (which streets on 2/25) is not going to be available in BD/DVD Combo versions as originally announced, but rather a Blu-ray 3D/Blu-ray Combo, and single-disc Blu-ray and DVD editions, all with digital copy. This appears to be part of a broader shift by the studio away from BD/DVD Combos. Members of the Disney Movie Club who had pre-ordered the announced BD3D/BD/DVD Combo have had their orders shifted to the BD3D/BD version. And as you can see from the art below, the versions available for pre-order on Amazon have changed too.  [Read on here...]
