Best movie deals of the week: From 4K releases to cheap DVDs

Yahoo Entertainment is committed to finding you the best products at the best prices. We may receive a share from purchases made via links on this page. Pricing and availability are subject to change.

If, like us, you’re getting a bit bored of what’s on your telly, it may be time to bring out the trusty DVD player.

DVDs have seen a resurgence recently as families watch their collection of old favourites during lockdown.

Buying a DVD can often turn out cheaper in the long run than renting your favourite film, or relying on streaming platforms keeping it on their library.

So, if like us, you’ve been having a look around for the best discs on sale this week, we’ve rounded-up everything from new 4K releases, to cheap and cheerful buys that can be a form a escapism for an hour of two.

Best new releases

Pick of the new movie releases on disc this week is the DVD and Blu-ray unveiling of Brandon Cronenberg’s acclaimed horror thriller Possessor. A couple of catalogue 4K Ultra HD Blu-rays arrive too, with sci-fi flicks Ender’s Game and Elysium arriving on the premium format.

Plus if you’re really desperate for a film to keep the ankle-biters quiet after a day of homeschooling – and you’d probably have to be a little bit desperate in this instance – then Cats & Dogs: Paws Unite makes its DVD debut today.

Also, it’s not a huge discount, but it’s the first sign that the price is coming down: Amazon has knocked a fiver off the price of Christopher Nolan’s Tenet on 4K. It’s selling for £20 for the time being, the cheapest it’s been to date.

Valentine’s Day offers are in full flow at most disc retailers right now. One of the best value sees Zoom with a 2 for £5 on DVD deal running, including lots of familiar romcoms (Notting Hill, Sleepless In Seattle) alongside some more left-field choices (you can’t beat a bit of the Cher-headlined musical Burlesque, right?)
