Sony to Bring 'Kramer vs. Kramer' to Blu this February

Sony Pictures has announced a mid-February Blu-ray release for the Academy Award-winning domestic drama 'Kramer vs. Kramer.'

Snagging Oscars for Best Picture, Best Director (Robert Benton) and stars Dustin Hoffman and Meryl Streep, the critically acclaimed box office hit will receive its high-def premiere on February 17. (Sony previously released a special edition DVD in 2003.)
