Universal Studios Home Entertainment has announced the release dates for Lucy to home media formats including Blu-ray Disc, DVD and Digital HD. The digital release of Lucy will pre-date disc releases by two weeks, launching on Tuesday, January 6, 2015. Blu-ray, DVD, and rental options will follow on January 20, 2015.
For extra material, both the Blu-ray Disc and DVD will include the bonus “Cerebral Capacity – The True Science of Lucy” hosted by Morgan Freeman.

The Blu-ray Combo pack from Universal also packs access codes for a Digital HD copy of the film redeemable though UltraViolet or iTunes.
