Fox Home Entertainment appears poised to enter the Blu-ray 3D retail market on April 19 with the release of Gulliver’s Travels starring Jack Black and Amanda Peet.
Listings for Gulliver’s Travels on Blu-ray and a separate sku for Blu-ray 3D appeared at Amazon.com during the past week. The Blu-ray 3D version has an SRP $10 more than the Blu-ray version at $49.99 versus $39.99.
Though Fox has yet to formally announce their entrance into the standalone Blu-ray 3D market, the fact that these listings have active pre-order links suggest that retailers have already been notified of their upcoming arrival. The official announcement will be passed along once it’s made.
Last year Fox offered Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs on Blu-ray 3D as part of a summer Panasonic 3D starter kit that also included Coraline on Blu-ray 3D. Universal has since released Coraline individually on Blu-ray 3D this past summer. Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs on Blu-ray 3D is still exclusive to the Panasonic starter kit making Gulliver’s Travels the first Fox film to be released individually at retail.
