Eddie Murphy's Date Night classic 'BOOMERANG' is finally going Blu-ray
30 years have come and gone for most folks but there’s no bigger celebration on deck than geeking out over the Blu-ray - first-ever, too - release of BOOMERANG this June 28. The ultimate Date Night-approved legendary flick is gearing up to invade your physical collection.
While it’s true, we live in the digital era, if there’s one thing I have personally learned about Internet outages or Wi-Fi issues, it’s there’s nothing better than a sure bet. Hence my Apple TV sitting nicely on top of my 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray player. Personal preferences aside, let’s celebrate Eddie Murphy’s classic heading to Blu-ray with the full rundown, bonus feature details including some insanely necessary director’s commentary by Reginald Hudlin plus deleted scenes.
Still beloved 30 years after its original release, BOOMERANG arrives for the first time ever on Blu-ray June 28, 2022 from Paramount Home Entertainment.
Eddie Murphy’s portrayal of hotshot advertising executive Marcus Graham made BOOMERANG a hit when it was first released in theaters on July 1, 1992. Featuring an all-star cast that includes Robin Givens, Halle Berry, David Alan Grier, Martin Lawrence, Grace Jones, Geoffrey Holder, and Eartha Kitt, Chris Rock, John Witherspoon, Tisha Campbell, and Melvin Van Peebles, this celebrated comedy was ahead of its time in playfully challenging stereotypes. The movie’s hit soundtrack, featuring Babyface, Toni Braxton, and Boyz II Men, topped the Billboard charts and earned triple platinum status.
The BOOMERANG Blu-ray includes access to a digital copy of the film, as well as the following legacy bonus content:
Commentary by director Reginald Hudlin

Synopsis
Marcus Graham (Murphy) may be a success in his industry, but he’s also an insatiable womanizer who’s completely unprepared for his new boss, Jacqueline (Robin Givens), a female version of Marcus in terms of all things romantic.
