VenomSony Pictures Home Entertainment just gave us a release date as well as all the details of its upcoming 4K and blu-ray release of Ruben Fleischer's blockbuster superhero action film, Venom. And, naturally, it will hit retail shelves just in time for the Christmas holiday on December 18th.

 

"When Eddie Brock acquires the powers of a symbiote, he will have to release his alter-ego "Venom" to save his life."


The studio says that in addition to a 4K Ultra HD + blu-ray + Digital HD package, a blu-ray + DVD + Digital package, there will be available a Best Buy Exclusive Steelbook release containing a 4K Ultra HD + Blu-ray + Digital Copy of the film. While we aren't super big fans of these exclusive retailer releases, this steelbok does look pretty damn cool with the symbiote's toothy grin taking front center of the steel case as crimson-colored blood, gums, and tissue spell out the word "venom" (see the cover below). And get a load of the special features and tech specs including a Dolby Vision HDR presentation and Dolby Atmos Audio Track.
