Studio Distribution Services, which manages the physical distribution for Universal Pictures and Warner Bros, their products will soon be making a nostalgic return to the shelves of 132 Fred Meyer supermarkets and 170 GameStop outlets across the United States, in addition to being available on GameStop.com.

This indicates that films such as 'Dune: Part II' will shortly be accessible in a physical format, potentially boasting superior visual quality. In this manner, viewers can relish the movie and become fully engrossed without fretting over buffering, bitrates, or the necessity of an internet connection. The partnership announcement highlights that the selection at Fred Meyer and GameStop will rotate, encompassing full-length movies and television series.

'Dune: Part II' will premiere at Fred Meyer, available in 132 locations from May 14, 2024. The collaboration is set to grow, featuring a wide array of titles and more expansive displays. The GameStop launch will be notably significant from the outset, showcasing 20 titles on a principal wall in the 170 stores nationwide. Additionally, a variety of 4K UHD, Blu-rays, and classic DVDs will be on offer. This diverse selection caters to all entertainment preferences, especially considering that the Xbox Series X and PlayStation 5 consoles are equipped with disc drives capable of playback.

This represents a considerable expansion for both retailers, presenting all three disc formats to a broader audience. For those who previously frequented outlets like BestBuy, which have ceased stocking physical media discs, this development is a triumph for the category and the merchants that stock them.
