It’s hard to believe, but Forrest Gump is celebrating its 30th anniversary this year. The iconic film earned universal acclaim when it was released in 1994, and would go on to win six Oscars–including Best Picture, Best Actor, and Best Director. Beyond those wins, it also managed to pick up over 70 award nominations and remains one of the most beloved films of the past thirty years. To celebrate its history and achievements, the Forrest Gump 30th Anniversary Steelbook (4K UHD) is now available for preorder exclusively at Walmart.
$35
The Forrest Gump 30th Anniversary Steelbook Edition isn’t expected to be released until July 2, but preorders are now open at Walmart. It’s a pretty solid offer for fans of the film, as it gets you a 4K UHD disc, Blu-ray disc, a digital copy of the film, and two CDs containing the Forrest Gump soundtrack. Expect it to at least have the special features from previous releases, though full details are yet to be announced. Rounding out the package is a stylish steelbook that features Forrest Gump on the front and a box of chocolates on the back.
It’s worth noting you can get the 25th anniversary edition on 4K Blu-ray for $22 at Amazon, though it doesn’t come with a steelbook case.
While this upcoming anniversary edition is a great option for Forrest Gump fans, you’ll find plenty of cheaper versions available on Amazon. This includes the Forrest Gump DVD for $8, Forrest Gump Blu-ray for $9, and Forrest Gump 4K for $23.
That means this anniversary edition essentially gets you a steelbook and Forrest Gump soundtrack for just $12–which isn’t a bad deal. Expect to hear more details about what’s included on the discs as we get closer to its July 2 release.
