The Descent: Part 2 (Adventure, Horror, Thriller)
Available for the first time in the United States on 4K, “The Descent: Part 2” is now available to own as a limited-edition 4K + Blu-ray+ Digital Steelbook release from Lionsgate.
“The Descent: Part 2” follows Sarah Carter (Shauna MacDonald, “Filth”) — dazed, bloodied and speechless — as she emerges alone from the Appalachian cave system where the events of “The Descent” occurred. Forced back underground to help the rescue team search for her missing girlfriends, Sarah’s fractured memories begin to return, and she realizes the full horror of what lurks in the depths of the caves. But the rescue team is about to face a new tribe of deformed crawlers — even more viciously feral than those Sarah encountered before.
Special features on the release include the Lionsgate Limited Extra “Flashback on ‘The Descent: Part 2’ — Shauna MacDonald” as well as several legacy features.

If you found out we weren’t alone — if someone showed you, proved it to you — would that frighten you? Now the truth belongs to 7 billion people in an original event film created and directed by Steven Spielberg (“Close Encounters of the Third Kind”), from a screenplay by David Koepp (“Jurassic Park”), starring Emily Blunt (“The Devil Wears Prada”), Josh O’Connor (“Challengers”), Colin Firth (“The King’s Speech”), Eve Hewson (“Robin Hood”) and Colman Domingo (“Fear the Walking Dead”).
Viewers who purchase “Disclosure Day” on 4K Ultra HD, Blu-ray, DVD and Digital can enjoy a special tribute to Spielberg’s 30th collaboration with composer John Williams (“Jurassic Park”), “Spielberg & Williams: A Legendary Collaboration.” Additionally, those who purchase the film on 4K Ultra HD, Blu-ray and Digital will get an in-depth look at the making of film — “Encountering the Unknown: Inside ‘Disclosure Day’” — as Spielberg, Blunt and the rest of the cast share filmmaking secrets and real-life inspirations behind the movie for more than 50 minutes.
Hadestown: The Musical (Drama, Musical)
Winner of eight Tony Awards in 2019, including Best Musical, and the 2020 Grammy Award for Best Musical Theatre Album, “Hadestown: The Musical” is now available On Demand from Bleecker Street and LD Entertainment.
Viewers can watch the live theater capture from the West End production from the comfort of their home, featuring the five original principals of the Broadway company (Reeve Carney, André De Shields, Amber Gray, Eva Noblezada and Patrick Page). The genre-defying musical blends modern American folk music with New Orleans-inspired jazz to reimagine a sweeping ancient tale. Following two intertwining love stories — that of young dreamers Orpheus (Carney, “Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark”) and Eurydice (Noblezada, “Miss Saigon”), and that of King Hades (Page, “Dr. Seuss’ How the Grinch Stole Christmas! The Musical”) and his wife, Persephone (Gray, “Natasha, Pierre & The Great Comet of 1812”) — “Hadestown: The Musical” invites audiences on a hell-raising journey to the underworld and back.

Illumination expands its joyful “Minions” universe with a riotous chapter featuring all-new characters in the biggest global animated franchise in history. “Minions & Monsters” is the rambunctious, ridiculous and totally true story of how the Minions (voiced by director/co-writer Pierre Coffin, “Despicable Me”) conquered Hollywood as movie stars, lost everything, unleashed monsters onto the world and then banded together to try saving the planet from the mayhem they created.
With an A- CinemaScore, “Minions & Monsters” is the highest-rated “Minions” movie to date. Fans who bring the film home can enjoy more than 40 minutes of exclusive bonus content on Digital, 4K Ultra HD, Blu-ray and DVD. Viewers can go behind the scenes of the movie as the filmmakers and artists at Illumination reveal the inspiration behind its early Hollywood setting — from story and casting to period research and cutting-edge animation — while introducing a new generation of Minions to audiences in “Minions Take on Hollywood;” meet the voices behind the wide array of characters as the filmmakers discuss what the talent brought to their respective roles and what they hope fans of the franchise take away from the film in “Casting ‘Minions & Monsters;’” and step into the studio with composer John Powell (“Wicked”) as he crafts a score inspired by the sweeping sound and timeless style of Hollywood’s golden age in “Hollywood Sound.” Fans of the movie can also follow along with slime influencer Snoopslimes to make their very own Irene blob monster slime using simple ingredients found at home in “How to Make Your Own Irene Blob Monster Slime;” take a seat in the director’s chair and make their very own Minions-inspired monster movie using hand-drawn art and flipbook animation in “Movie-Making Minions Style;” and follow along with head of story Nima Azarba (“Sing”) as he teaches viewers how to draw James, Henry, Ed, Max, Dort, Goomi, Irene, Howard and Phillips in “How to Draw.”
