Jon Favreau’s The Jungle Book opened in mid-April and spent five weeks in the top 5 at the box office. The film has gone on to earn $960-million worldwide, and with the film still playing in some theatres could cross the $1-billion mark soon. Special features on the disc include “The Jungle Book Reimagined” which chronicles the making of the film, “I Am Mowgli” following actor Neel Sethi on his Disney adventure, and an audio commentary from Favreau.

Me Before You

Emilia Clarke and Sam Claflin star in this adaptation of Jojo Moyes’ novel directed by Thea Sharrock. Disability advocates criticized the film’s portrayal of people with disabilities with protests being held across the globe. Film critics were also put off by the film’s narrative, with the Rotten Tomato consensus saying the chemistry of the lead actors “isn’t enough to compensate for its clumsy treatment of a sensitive subject.” (The film earned a Tomato score of 58%.) The Blu-ray release features a “From Page to Screen” extra as well as outtakes and deleted scenes.
