The First Omen On Digital May 28th, 4K Blu-ray July 30th

The First Omen is coming to digital services on May 28th, with a 4K Blu-ray release to follow on July 30th.

The First Omen rode a wave of goodwill to over $50 million worldwide in theaters, and 20th Century Studios is now releasing the horror prequel to digital services on May 28th and a 4K Blu-ray release on July 30th. Starring Nell Tiger Free (Servant), Tawfeek Barhom (Mary Magdalene), Sonia Braga (Kiss of the Spider Woman), Ralph Ineson (The Northman), and Bill Nighy (Living), the film was actually well-received by audiences that saw it, and this should do very well on digital. The features list looks to be mostly the featurettes that were released leading up to the film's release. You can see that list and the cover for the Blu-ray below.
