Transformers Bumblebee Movie (2018) - release dates and details

One extra deleted scene is one that had been rumoured for quite some time, but now we get to see it - the home appliances (TV, dishwasher, washing machine) in Charlie's house coming alive... with some rough CG animation, as it was obviously cut during post-production.

(most of the scene is actually in the movie, but re-edited in post-production to remove any hint of the appliances)
The exclusive release of the deleted scene can be seen here, while screen-grabs of the appliances can be seen here.

The Bumblebee Movie is finally out in Japan, and on youtube is a short 80 second animated intro to the movie... in cutesy chibi style.

I thought it would actually increase piracy, as those people who were more likely to buy a physical copy (for them, or more importantly, their kids), would now go find a digital copy if they can't wait the extra two weeks, and prefer not to pay for that digital copy if they intend to get a physical copy. And then later maybe decide not to buy the physical copy now that they have a (free) digital copy.

Lol, I didn't say it was a good way to combat piracy, I just said I'm guessing that's why they're doing it, with the potentially misguided expectation of getting it out sooner to those who don't want or can't wait for the physical copy.

(move some posts to the Australian news topic that was also running with the same info)

My friend found this statue promoting Bumblebee on her recent trip to Japan.

The Ultra HD DVDs in America appear to have an audio issue, and Paramount is replacing them (if mailed in).
I don't know if the Australian release has a similar problem though, as I haven't heard yet of anyone here having issues.

I haven’t noticed anything and I’m pretty quick to pick up on these issues
