Will Penguin Bloom come to DVD and Blu-ray?
Will Penguin Bloom be on DVD and Blu-ray in the future?
While streaming services have been on the quieter side recently, there are still some excellent movies and TV shows coming. Penguin Bloom is one of the highly anticipated movies on Netflix this month, but will you be able to watch it on DVD and Blu-ray?
Most Netflix movies don’t come to DVD and Blu-ray. The streamer wants to keep things as exclusive as possible. It makes sense, especially with more companies creating streaming platforms.
However, there is a good chance that Penguin Bloom will be like The Irishman and Marriage Story. There’s a chance that it will come to DVD and Blu-ray in the future.
Penguin Bloom isn’t a global Netflix Original
Something to note is that Penguin Bloom isn’t coming to Netflix around the world. It’s heading to theaters in Australia and is distributed by Roadside Films. While Netflix has distribution rights in North America, the UK, and some other locations, the lack of distribution in Australia can affect things.
It also got its premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival in 2020. This could also affect the chances of it going to DVD and Blu-ray. Many movies that come out at film festivals eventually go to DVD and Blu-ray.
If it does come to DVD and Blu-ray, we could be looking at between six and 12 months of the Netflix release.
What is the movie about?
Before you watch on Netflix or even consider getting it on DVD and Blu-ray. Penguin Bloom is a heartwarming tale of overcoming physical limitations.
After an accident, Sam Bloom is paralyzed from the waist down. She struggles to deal with that, pushing her family away as she tries to deal with the fact that she’s not the woman she once was. It certainly takes its toll on a family.
When her husband Cameron Bloom finds an injured magpie, he brings the bird home, and the family work on helping the magpie heal. It has a positive effect on Sam, who realizes that she can overcome her injury, even if she doesn’t walk again.
Penguin Bloom is on Netflix on Jan. 27, 2021.
