The Summer Season is here. That means massive heat waves and a cascade of new movies in theaters. It also means we get a big busy string of new disc releases. July 2024 is a whopper of a release month for 4K UHD.
Since we’re just over halfway through the years, this is about when studios and indie labels start slipping out some big major new and catalog releases. We’re just a few short months away from the crazy Holiday shopping season. So when we’re not queuing up to see the latest new releases in theaters, chances are we’re at home binging away on our latest disc buys. July tends to be a packed frame and this year is no different, so let’s get into it.
July 2024 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray Shopping Guide
July 2nd – 4K UHD Releases
This month starts fast with a full range of new releases, fan favorites, and cult classics. We’re getting everything from great Comedies to Classic Westerns to Thrillers and explosive Action flicks. Some big favorites all drop this week putting an early pinch on our wallets. Usually, the month starts a bit slow, but between Criterion’s new releases and KLSC moving a lot of their June slate to July, we’ll need to make room on our shelves for new arrivals.
July 9th – 4K UHD Releases
Things don’t slow down much for this second week. We’ve got classic horror, classic anime, classic thrillers, an insane Ray Liotta, one of the most controversial new releases of the year, and one of the best summertime disaster films!
July 16th – 4K UHD Releases
Things press the braks a little bit on the number of releases, but we get a few classic heavy hitters. Not only will we finally get all of the Rocky films in 4K but KLSC delivers a classic Horror/Sci-Fi film, a modern drama, while Ben Affleck was the bomb in I!
Rare Friday Release – July 19th 4K UHD
July 23rd – 4K UHD Releases
For the fourth Tuesday of the month, the pace picks up hard and fast. Criterion delivers two big ones, including the movie that made Tom Cruise a star. Universal finally delivers their underdog theatrical flick The Fall Guy. Sony unveils one of the greatest film noir thrillers of all time while the biggest shark franchise completes its 4K meal. Again, it’s a lot and it’s going to be expensive!
July 30th – 4K UHD Releases
Talk about a mix of everything for everyone. You’ve got thrillers, ’80s action movies, a disgusting and terrifying zombie epic, and a whole lot more. No one said this hobby was going to be cheap, but this month doesn’t slow down for the rare fifth Tuesday of the month.
And that should just about do it. That’s everything that’s due to drop domestically on 4K for July 2024. Now as we saw last month with KLSC’s 4K slate, release dates can change on a dime, so if anything shifts we’ll update our listings ASAP.
