20th Century Studios announced a physical media release of the Predator franchise spin-off Prey (2022) on physical media formats including Blu-ray and 4k Blu-ray on October 3, 2023. Read Review
Directed by Dan Trachtenberg, Prey is a prequel to the first four Predator films set in the Northern Great Plains in 1719.
On 4k Blu-ray, the movie is presented in 2160p with HDR10 High Dynamic Range color and a Dolby Atmos soundtrack. Subtitles are provided in English SDH, French, and Spanish.
This isn’t the first time Prey has been available in 4k, as Hulu exclusively released the film on its streaming service in 4k UHD with HDR since premiering on August 5, 2022.
However, it will be the first time Prey will be available with Dolby Atmos audio in the US, the object-based format that allows height channels to seemingly immerse listeners in a 3-dimensional sound space. Update: I’ve been told the Disney+ release of Prey had Atmos in the UK.
It’s also, as far as I can tell, the first time the movie has been made available to purchase outside the Hulu platform. A search on Amazon, Apple TV, Vudu, and other digital movie sellers showed zero results (except for previous movies titled “Prey” of which there are many).
The disc editions of Prey are listed at $39.99 (4k Blu-ray), $34.99 (Blu-ray) and $29.99 (DVD) on Amazon. We expect those prices to drop at least $5 each as the release date nears. The 4k Blu-ray SteelBook edition (pictured below) is priced $40.99 at Best Buy.
