Set your calendars because Barbie is coming home! Warner Bros. has announced the release date for Barbie on 4K UHD, Blu-ray and DVD and it is coming later this month on October 17th.
Released in July, Barbie has become on of the year’s biggest hits with $626 million domestically, beating out 2012’s Avengers, and has earned a worldwide haul of $1.4 billion.

The 4K and Blu-ray will include six special features titled ‘Welcome to Barbie Land,’ ‘Becoming Barbie,’ ‘Playing Dress-Up,’ ‘Musical Make-Believe,’ ‘All-Star Barbie Party’ and ‘It’s A Weird World.’ Check out the cover artwork for the 4K Ultra HD and Blu-ray releases here…
