Whether you were ready for it or not, we have officially entered Black Friday season. Retailers like Amazon, Walmart, and Best Buy have already announced sales throughout the entirety of November.
One of these sales is Amazon’s “Buy 2 Get 1 Free” deal on physical media. However, this time around, the sale is limited to books, comics, and manga. Thankfully, the Universal-owned retailer Gruv Entertainment has taken up the task of offering a solid deal on 4K movies. For a limited time, you can grab any three 4Ks from a pretty robust list for just $30.
Get 3 4K Movies for $30 at Gruv
The eligible 4Ks are normally priced from $15 to around $25. To maximize savings, you could go for the most expensive new releases, which somehow includes Black Adam. However, I’d just go for the movies you actually like and would proudly display on your shelf. Ultimately, you’re going to end up with discounts that give you roughly one movie for free.
Personal standouts for me are the Edgar Wright movies like Scott Pilgrim and Hot Fuzz. With the Warner Bros. connection, you’ll find pretty much the full slate of releases from the DCEU, with my personal recommendation being James Gunn’s The Suicide Squad (that precluded his DC Studio reboot). There’s also a spread of Fast and Furious movies, including the most recent release, Fast X, and horror favorites like Halloween and The Thing. There’s plenty more from directors like Alfred Hitchcock, Quentin Tarantino, and Jordan Peele, just to name a few.
When Does the Sale End?
Unfortunately, the sale doesn’t seem to have a clear end date. Based on previous Gruv deals, I would assume that “limited time” means just over this weekend, but there's a small chance it could extend through closer to Black Friday itself.
What Is Gruv?
Gruv is a physical media retailer owned by Universal Pictures Home Entertainment. It serves as the retail arm for Studio Distribution Services, a joint venture between Universal and Warner Bros. The site started as a retailer for movies within SDS licensing agreement (pretty much Universal, Warner Bros., and MGM), but has slowly expanded to include titles from Paramount, Shout Factory, and more. That still means that you’ll have a more limited selection than shopping through a retailer like Amazon, but it also means you’re buying straight from the source. Either way, it’s worth having a scroll to see what stands out.
