Academy Award winning director Alexander Payne’s acclaimed futuristic comedy “Downsizing” arrives on 4K Ultra HD, Blu-ray, DVD and Digital Tuesday March 20, from Paramount Home Media Distribution.

When scientists find a way to shrink humans to five inches tall, Paul Safranek (Academy Award winner Matt Damon, “Good Will Hunting”) and his wife Audrey (Kristen Wiig, “Bridesmaids”) decide to ditch their stressed-out lives in order to get small and live large in a luxurious downsized community.  Filled with life-changing adventures and endless possibilities, Leisureland offers more than riches, as Paul discovers a whole new world and realizes that we are meant for something bigger.  The comedy also stars Academy Award winner Christoph Waltz (“Inglourious Basterds”) and Hong Chau in a breakthrough performance that earned her Golden Globe and SAG nominations.

The “Downsizing” 4K Ultra HD and Blu-ray Combo Packs include nearly an hour of fascinating bonus content with six behind-the-scenes featurettes. Join the cast including Damon and Wiig, plus director Payne (“Sideways,” “The Descendants”) to see how his unique vision was brought to life. Take a journey on set and check out the production design and visual effects behind the miniaturized world of Leisureland, and more.

“Pitch Perfect 3” arrives Blu-ray, DVD, On Demand and via the all-new digital movie app Movies Anywhere on Tuesday March 20, from Universal Pictures Home Entertainment. The music-filled comedy adventure also is on digital platforms.

Now graduated from college, the fabulous Bellas of Barden University are back for one last call. Beca, Fat Amy and the rest of the Bellas are off to face a post a cappella champion world in the high-spirited closing act to the franchise that sparked a worldwide phenomenon. After the highs of winning the World Championships, the Bellas find themselves split apart and discovering there are no job prospects for making music with only your mouth. But when they get the chance to reunite for a European USO tour, this group of awesome nerds will come together to make some music, and some questionable decisions, one last time. Filled with all-new musical performances, a hilarious gag reel, never-before-seen deleted footage and more.
