Shout! Sets May 3 Release Date for China’s ‘Dinosaur World’

Shout! Studios and Shout! Factory have announced the May 3 release of Dinosaur World, a 2020 Chinese film from director Ryan Bellgardt.

The film will be available on Blu-ray Disc, DVD, and on digital platforms Redbox on Demand, Vudu, iTunes/AppleTV, Google Play, and Amazon’s Prime Video. The Blu-ray and DVD versions are available for preorder now at ShoutFactory.com.

Dinosaur World chronicles the story of a deadly game with a life-changing prize, when a group of contestants come together to take part in a competition held in a virtual reality realm ruled by dinosaurs. The players quickly find that their initial goals of shifting alliances and jockeying for victory become secondary to the ultimate goal: survival.

According to the Oklahoman, Bellgardt, an Oklahoma native, “lensed his sixth feature film in multiple locations around Oklahoma in summer 2019 (well before the COVID-19 pandemic) using the Oklahoma Film Enhancement Rebate Program. Before the Edmond native even made the movie, it had already secured a wide release in China, including a theatrical release, TV runs and video on-demand across China’s top three online streaming service providers.”
