"Midnighters"
This horror thriller premieres in theaters and on VOD and Digital HD on Friday, March 2.

New on DVD and Blu-ray

"Coco"Disney-Pixar's animated wonder won the Golden Globe and is currently the frontrunner to win the Oscar for Animated Feature.

The Blu-ray is loaded with behind-the-scenes bonus features, including audio commentary, deleted scenes, and several featurettes.

"Darkest Hour"
Gary Oldman is darn near a lock to win Best Actor in a Leading Role for his transformation into Winston Churchill for this World War II drama. "Darkest Hour" was also nominated for Best Picture, Makeup and Hairstyling, Costume Design, Cinematography, and Production Design. The film arrives on Blu-ray, DVD and On Demand February 27.

Here's an exclusive clip from the extras, featuring the make-up designer, costume designer, filmmakers, and actress Lily James discussing Gary Oldman's transformation into Winston Churchill:"Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri"
"Three Billboards" was nominated for seven Oscars and is very likely to pick up at least two: Best Actress in a Leading Role for Frances McDormand, and Best Actor in a Supporting Role for Sam Rockwell. It's also a major contender for Best Picture. The darkly comic, and violent, crime drama arrives on Blu-ray, DVD, and 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray on February 27. Extras include the featurette "Crucify 'Em: The Making of Three Billboards," and the short film "Six Shooter.
