Source Code DVD & Blu-Ray has entered the US national home entertainment charts at Number 1! Reported on Hollywood Reporter yesterday:
Summit Entertainment stormed to the top of the national home entertainment charts last week with Source Code, a PG-13-rated action thriller starring Jake Gyllenhaal that generated $54.7 million in theaters.
Report supported by Rentrakfor week of July 24th – 30th (Source Code release on the 26th July in the US)
Source Code generated 41 percent of its first-week sales from Blu-ray Disc, significantly higher than the latest weekly percentage for Rango (28 percent) or Limitless (33 percent).
Possible we could also see this trend continue for the UK DVD / Blu-Ray release on August 15th as well, with an exclusive steel book case edition Blu-Ray now sold out due to popular demand on pre-order with popular online retailer Play.com.
And don’t forget UK pals, if you can’t wait until August 15th, rental chain Blockbuster have Source Code available to rent NOW! I picked up a copy last Friday, chap in the shop said he loved it, and it has been very popular so far, there were hardly any left on the shelf when I picked it up 
Thanks to our good friend Larry Richman in the US for the Hollywood Reporter link.
Source Code is released on DVD & Blu-Ray in the US tomorrow (26th July), while we in the UK have to wait until the 15th of August to pick up a copy. That is unless you are a member of Blockbuster who have the exclusive early home rental of Duncan Jones’ thought provoking, action packed, box office smash starring Jake Gyllenhaal, Michelle Monaghan, Vera Farmiga & Jeffrey Wright.
You will be able to rent Source Code from Blockbuster from this Friday, 29th July on both DVD & Blu-Ray, and you can also win a copy by entering Blockbuster’s Source Code competition.
And just in case you’re wondering what Source Code is all about, wishing you could watch the first few minutes to get a taste of what the weekends entertainment could be like. Have a look at…the first few minutes

The longer films are out in the mainstream, from cinema release through to home release, they eventually slip into the collective unconsciousness of popular culture and take on a life of their own. Through reviews and writings on aspects of plot and theme, they eventually in a way, no longer belong to the film makers completely, but also to the audience that take them to heart. The point at which this transfer occurs is often reflected in an increase in independently produced, creative pieces inspired by the films, either directly, or taking their queue from specific aspects of the films.
We’ve had so many incredible contributions from fans of MOON already, and are now starting to see the same occurring with SOURCE CODE. Starting early with posters, then the amazing Machinima piece from KeulerMedia recently, we now have this rather smart “Dubstep” track and video from Tomi P, Sampling dialogue from the film itself, and editing film footage to produce this video.
If you’re in the USA this coming weekend, and fancy watching Duncan Jones’ latest film SOURCE CODE, and can’t wait for the July 26th DVD & Blu-Ray release you’re in luck. As Summit Entertainment are releasing the film over two weeks early on VOD (Video On Demand) so you will be able to buy or rent SC from Friday 8th July.
Not being in the US we’re presuming you will just need to check with your local cable or satellite provider, Netflix etc. Have been able to check Amazon.com though and SOURCE CODE is is available to buy for $14.99 or rent for 48 hours for $3.99.
SOURCE CODE is also available NOW on Apple iTunes via this store link.
Early digital release is designed to test demand for release prior to disc based format. Full press release from Summit Entertainment with all the details follows…
Been a while since we had a new independently produced poster, so great to find this one by Jason W Stanley today whilst mooching through the SOURCE CODE Flickr group.
Jason has also been kind enough to let us know about the idea & inspiration behind his SOURCE CODE poster.
Popped this up last night for your viewing pleasure, but since then, KeuleMedia have been kind enough to to send through details of the making of their amazing machinima SOURCE CODE trailer. Nearly 6 months in the making, we have a flickr making of gallery, and of course, the trailer itself …
SOURCE CODE finally opens in Austria, Germany and Switzerland today, and as well as the poster above, we also have the German language trailer from distributor Kinowelt below.
Eine Eilmeldung im Fernsehen: Kurz vor Chicago explodierte ein Personenzug – es gab keine Überlebenden. Wenig später erwacht Colter Stevens (Jake Gyllenhaal) in genau diesem Zug – im Körper eines anderen Mannes und an der Seite der jungen Christina (Michelle Monaghan). Nach und nach begreift der Kampfpilot: Er ist im „Source Code“. Dank dieser Technologie kann Stevens den Körper eines anderen Menschen übernehmen – für acht Minuten vor dessen Tod. Sein Auftrag: Finde die Bombe und schalte den Bombenleger aus. Wieder und wieder durchlebt Stevens die Katastrophe und setzt das Puzzle mit Christinas Hilfe zusammen. Die Zeit drängt, denn ein weiterer, viel größerer Anschlag droht.
Mit seinem glänzenden Debüt „Moon“ (2009) erregte Regisseur Duncan Jones weltweit Aufsehen. Jetzt legt er spektakulär nach: Sein Actionthriller SOURCE CODE ist ausgeklügelt, hochspannend und lockt den Zuschauer bis zum Schluss immer wieder aufs Glatteis. SOURCE CODE punktet neben dem cleveren Drehbuch auch mit einem herausragenden Ensemble. Allen voran Jake Gyllenhaal, der als einer der vielseitigsten Schauspieler Hollywoods zuletzt in unterschiedlichen Genres zu sehen war: Mit vollem Körpereinsatz in „Prince of Persia – Der Sand der Zeit“, als liebenswerter Charmeur in der romantischen Komödie „Love and Other Drugs – Nebenwirkung inklusive“ und als sensibler Cowboy in dem umjubelten Drama „Brokeback Mountain“. An seiner Seite spielt Michelle Monaghan („Untreu – Unfaithful“, „Stichtag“) die Rolle der schönen Fremden. Perfekt ergänzt wird das Duo durch Vera Farmiga („The Departed – Unter Feinden“, „Up in the Air“) und Jeffrey Wright („James Bond 007 – Casino Royale“).
