Robert Downey Jr. takes the latest stab at talking to animals in Dolittle; the under-performing box office reboot that will seek new life on home video.
Universal Studios Home Entertainment will first bring Dolittle to Digital HD on March 24th, 2020. The Dolittle 4K Ultra HD, Blu-ray and DVD release lands two weeks later on April 7th.
Pre-order Dolittle on the format of your choice at Amazon.
Joining Downey Jr. in Dolittle as the voices of various animals are Emma Thompson, Rami Malek, Selena Gomez, John Cena, and Tom Holland.
Despite a long list of big names and ample CGI, Dolittle has done little at the box office with just over $183 million earned from an estimated production budget of $175 million.
