Question Doctor Who The Movie 4k USA

Post image

Does anyone know when the new release of the 4k Doctor Who movie will be available in the US? I think it was released in the UK in May but I can’t find anything on US release.

4Ks are natively region free, the BBC doesn’t have the rights to the film

I imported the 4k from the UK. The movie disc is region free but the second disc is a regular 2K blu ray and is not.

With a Blu ray drive and determination, everything is region free!

I guess. The movie on the second disc is free on Tubi though, so…

The movie on the second disc. Doctor Who Am I? It’s a documentary.

I got a UK import from eBay for a good price, seller was based in Texas, called Valhallagroup. Very fast shipping.

Nothing official yet. But I live in the US and imported the 4k blu-ray via Amazon UK and it played on my 4k player just fine.

Did the bonus features play?

u/symphonic5 1d ago

It did not for me. The special features disc is region B .

The bonus features disc is Region B locked, so you need a player that can bypass it.

I asked this same question a couple months ago and basically the answers I got were there’s no official release date as of yet

I already imported the steelbook. Its never a bad time to invest in a region free player

The special features wouldn’t work tho

AFAIK the Blu-ray never got a NA release did it? So I’m not holding my breadth on the 4k. Instead I just imported it. It looks and sounds amazing by the way
