The acclaimed film by Wes Anderson is coming to high-definition in October.

In an early announcement to retailers, Universal Studios says 'Moonrise Kingdom' will have a Blu-ray release on October 16.

A star-studded and visually stunning box office hit, and a tale of first love directed by two-time Academy Award®-nominated filmmaker Wes Anderson ('The Royal Tenenbaums,' 'Fantastic Mr. Fox,' 'Rushmore'), Focus Features’ 'Moonrise Kingdom' follows two 12-year-olds who fall in love, make a secret pact and run away together into the wilderness. As various authorities try to hunt them down, a violent storm is brewing off-shore – and the peaceful island community is turned upside down in every which way.
