Lionsgate’s remake of Conan the Barbarian starring Jason Momoa (Game of Thrones) is coming to Blu-ray 3D, Blu-ray, and DVD on November 22 on R1 (Usa) and December 12 on R2 (Uk).
Conan the Barbarian, which was directed by Marcus Nispel and co-stars Rachel Nichols, Rose McGowan, Stephen Lang and Ron Perlman, struggled at the box office after its release on August 19. An opening weekend of only $10, and a domestic total of $21.2 million, were both well off the film’s reported $90 million production budget.
The Blu-ray 3D version of Conan the Barbarian is a combo pack including the Blu-ray 2D, DVD and digital copies. The Blu-ray 2D version, however, is a single disc and format set.
Lionsgate has priced the Conan the Barbarian 2D version at $37.99 and the 3D combo pack only $2 more. It’s clear which set Lionsgate wants you to buy, especially since only the 3D set is currently available for pre-order at Amazon (even though it doesn’t say 3D next to the listing yet). Were as the DVD and Blu-Ray for the UK R2 are on HMV.com at £11.99 and £16.99 no 3D at this time.
Bonus features on both Blu-ray editions include two audio commentaries, a history of the Conan franchise featurette, “The Man Who Would Be Conan: Robert E. Howard” featurette, and two additional featurettes examining the action and fight scenes.
