2020 was a wild year for theatrical releases that is going to take quite some time to fully recover from. One the one hand, the lack of theatrical releases last year means that all those delayed films will be delayed even further when it comes to their release on Blu-ray and DVD, which left 2020 a far different year than we expected.. However, with theaters closed, many films decided to go directly to video on demand platforms. Under the circumstances, this is great, as it gives people access to the same movies in the comfort of their own homes.
Exactly what the future has in store for home releases in 2021 is anybody's guess right now. But we'll keep things updated here with the news on the newest releases as they are announced.
January DVD And Blu-ray Releases
January is frequently a slow month for brand new movies in theaters but it's usually a big month for home releases as we see popular films from the late summer and early fall coming home. Unfortunately, because of the global pandemic, the theatrical release schedule wasn't everything we were hoping for, and that domino effect has continued to plague DVD releases. Having said that, there are still some interesting movies worthy of checking out that will arrive in January.
TV fans will have plenty o series to add to their collections, including Season 2 of Jordan Peele's Twilight Zone from CBS All Access, the final season of The 100, and the first season of the television adaptation of Snowpiercer. But it isn't all TV, there were some good movies that came out last year that may have flown under the radar due to everything that was going on, and might get a much better chance to be seen now, like Jungleland, with Charlin Hunnan, and Love and Monsters starring Dylan O'Brien. Checkout the full list of January releases below.

February DVD And Blu-ray Releases
February 2021 almost, almost, feels like the movie industry hasn't been at a near standstill for the better part of a year. While there certainly aren't as many major Blu-ray releases coming in February as might have expected 12 months ago, nearly every week of the month has something worthy of note, movies with major names that either actually were released in theaters, or at the very least would have been under normal circumstances.
The beginning of the month gives us Let Him Go, a drama with Kevin Costner and Diane Lane that is getting solid reviews, and Wild Mountain Thyme, a movie that's not nearly as well reviewed, but has such a bizarre twist in it that it might be worth checking out anyway. There's also the body swap horror movie Freaky and the better than it has any right to be disaster movie Greenland. The new "Milla Jovovich is in a movie based on a video game" film, Monster Hunter will also be available to view digitally in February ahead of its physical release next month.
If nothing else, the fact that some of these films didn't even have a theatrical release is making the physical release of the film happen incredibly quickly. One has to wonder if that process will continue even once theaters are back to normal. Here's everything slated to debut in February.

March DVD And Blu-ray Releases
Slowly but surly, we're seeing more movement when it comes to movie releases, which gives us more movement on home releases as well. Sure, some of these big movies, like Wonder Woman 1984 were released on streaming services like HBO Max or other VOD formats, but now you don't need to wait for them to come back around on streaming and you can actually own a physical copy of the film.
In addition to films like Wonder Woman 1984, March also brings us the likes of Monster Hunter, a video game adaptation from the people who brought you the resident Evil movies, as well as a potential Oscar contender in Promising Young Woman.

April DVD And Blu-ray Releases
Just when it looked like things were heading in the right direction, April really slowed down in the Blu-ray and DVD department. While we're certainly not entirely without new releases, the fact that many of the movies tyhat have come out have seen a much faster turn around to home release means that sometimes everything that's going to come out already has. Having said that, with it beginning to finally look my theaters might really reopen for good, we can be at least a little confident that things will be returning to something like normal, or whatever the new normal is, fairly soon.
The only really significant release hitting in April is the comedy Barb and Star go to Vista Del Mar. Which was a movie that, due to a lack of theatrical release, a lot of people probably didn't see, but based on the reviews, it's something everybody should probably check out, so here's the chance.

May DVD And Blu-ray Releases
May almost feels like a normal month in home entertainment releases, since we're seeing a lot of this year;s Oscar winners get released. Of course, the fact that those awards were only given out at the end of April still makes the whole thing feel weird. However, if you'd like to check out some of the Oscar winners that you missed, or just add your favorite Academy Award nominee to your collection, you'll have a chance to do so in May, as we'll see the release of Judas the Black Messiah, The Father, Minari and more.
If Oscar winners aren't your thing, there are still a few major releases coming out in May, including Denzel Washington's The Little Things, and the live-action/animation hybrid Tom and Jerry. On the television side, you can pick up the first season of the animated Star Trek comedy Lower Decks, or you can complete your collection of Supernatural DVDs, as the final season of that series will drop at the end of the month.

June DVD And Blu-ray Releases
Normally, at this time of year the focus of film is on the big screen as the summer movie season shifts into full swing. While "full swing" is probably a bit of a misnomer at this point, we actually are seeing new movies get released in theaters again and that means that in a few months we're going to have big movies to release on Blu-ray again.
However, we still have a few big releases hitting Blu-ray this month. The biggest Blu-ray release comes from what was previously the biggest theatrical release of the year. Godzilla vs. Kong had a solid theatrical opening a few months back, and now for those who want to own it, they'll have a chance later this month. When it comes to movies that perhaps did not see massive box office, but are worth checking out, the Bob Odenkirk-led Nobody was a solid action movie for scratching that John Wick itch.
Fans of TV looking to complete their collections should be aware that Season 2 of His Dark Materials arrives this month as does Season 1 of The Umbrella Academy. Here's everything else coming out in June.
