Overview
- Universal announced the film will be available to rent and buy digitally on Oct. 27 and on DVD, Blu‑ray and 4K on Dec. 1 with director commentary and behind‑the‑scenes extras.
- Forgotten Island opened in U.S. theaters in late September to strong reviews but weak ticket sales, and it currently holds roughly a 94% score on Rotten Tomatoes.
- The DreamWorks feature was directed by Joel Crawford and Januel P. Mercado and showcases Filipino folklore, a predominantly Filipino and Filipino‑American cast and an anime‑influenced visual style.
- Industry reports estimate the production cost at about $80 million, and Universal is relying on early digital sales, physical media and upcoming streaming windows to determine whether the film turns a profit and can support sequels.
- The home extras aim to deepen engagement with the film’s Filipino roots through commentary, cultural features and music-focused pieces, which could broaden the movie’s audience beyond its underwhelming theatrical run.
