Editor's Notes

Note

Paramount's 50th Anniversary Edition arrives June 30, 2026 in an Amaray keepcase with slipcover, repackaging the 2024 Steelbook disc. Same encode, same Dolby Vision, same DTS-HD MA 5.1 mix on the UHD side. The StudioCanal UK 2022 4K still has the better encode according to bestblurays, while the US Paramount disc has stronger color timing. Either way, the supplements are still light: theatrical trailer plus the Extended TV Version on the BD.
