Sony Pictures Home Entertainment will give Angels & Demons, its biggest fourth-quarter title, and three other holiday titles a day-and-date release on video-on-demand and DVD.
The Taking of Pelham 1 2 3 (out Nov. 3), The Ugly Truth (Nov. 10) and Julie & Julia (Dec. 8) also will get simultaneous VOD and DVD releases, Sony confirmed.
A Sony spokesman said the simultaneous releases are part of a test with “participating retailers.” He declined to name cable outlets or digital retailers that would get the film day-and-date. Angels & Demons and Pelham are being advertised on Amazon.com Video On Demand. ITunes, Comcast and other sites didn’t list VOD release dates for the titles as of Thursday. However, iTunes lists the digital release of Julie & Julia as Dec. 8, the same day as its DVD bow.
