The 1986 box office hit Crocodile Dundee is set to receive a 4K steelbook release on December 1, with a retail price of $39.99. Preorders are currently available on Amazon.
Released in 1986, Crocodile Dundee achieved significant commercial success, grossing $328 million worldwide against a production budget of less than $10 million. This performance positioned it as the second highest-grossing film of 1986 in the U.S., surpassed only by Top Gun. The film stars Paul Hogan as Mick "Crocodile" Dundee, an Australian Outback adventurer who is brought to New York City by Sue Charlton, a journalist played by Linda Kozlowski. The narrative follows Dundee's comedic adjustment to urban life and the developing romance between him and Sue.
The original film was followed by a sequel in 1988 and Crocodile Dundee in Los Angeles in 2001. This upcoming release coincides with the film's 40th anniversary.
Recent months have seen several other classic films receive similar collector's edition treatments, including Steven Spielberg's Hook and the animated feature Shrek, both of which have also been released in anniversary steelbook formats. Additionally, a significant number of 4K movie titles are currently available during Amazon's early Prime Big Deal Days sale.
