From CinemaBlend:

Arthur is sometimes a one-man circus show featuring the machinations of Russell Brand and other times a poignant story that might possibly bring a few tears to the forefront. Either way, it’s uniquely messy filmmaking and still worth a watch. Luckily, viewers will be able to purchase Arthur even sooner than expected, as Warner Brothers Home Entertainment has announced the film for Blu-Ray and DVD release on July 15.

Pulling together a Blu-Ray and DVD release rather quickly after a film leaves theaters has its drawbacks, namely regarding special features. The DVD release for Arthur is especially sparse, and will only come with additional scenes. The Blu-Ray/DVD combo pack will pick up the slack a little, and will come with a gag reel, an “unsupervised feature” with Russell Brand and director Jason Winer, and a digital copy. That’s still not a lot for a $35.99 Blu-Ray price, but it’s worth it to be able to repeat the scene where Helen Mirren says “Wash your winkie” through a Darth Vader mask.

This refers to the US release – the UK release date appears to be Sept. 19 (thanks Kirsten!).
