The horror flick is now up for pre-order on both formats at Amazon and arrives on home video in June.
As previously reported, Universal is working on Us for 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray and Blu-ray later this year, and now the official release date is June 18. A 4K SteelBook will be exclusively available at Best Buy.
Academy Award-winning visionary Jordan Peele returns with another original nightmare, pitting an endearing American family against a terrifying and uncanny opponent: doppelgängers of themselves. Adelaide Wilson (Oscar-winner Lupita Nyong’o) returns to her beachside childhood home with her husband (Winston Duke, Black Panther) and their two children for an idyllic summer getaway. After spending a tense beach day with their friends, and haunted by an unexplainable and unresolved trauma from her past, compounded by a string of eerie coincidences, Adelaide feels her paranoia elevate to high-alert as she grows increasingly certain that something bad is going to befall her family.
Both releases will feature a Dolby Atmos soundtrack with Dolby Vision/HDR10 on the 4K UHD and supplements will include:
Scene Explorations – The making of three iconic scenes from the film including the Tyler house massacre, Jason's abduction and Adelaide's underground flashback.
The Duality of US – Jordan Peele goes in-depth on some of the key themes and imagery in US– including Doppelgängers, Hands Across America, The Nutcracker dance scene, rabbits and the infamous 11:11 coincidence.
The Monsters Within US – Examine how the great cast were able to find their characters, whether they were playing one of the Wilsons or their sinister doppelgängers.
Tethered Together: Making US Twice – Making of a movie is hard. Making a movie where all the main cast play dual roles can be downright mind-bending.

Redefining a Genre: Jordan Peele's Brand of Horror – In the space of two films, Jordan Peele has set himself apart as an invaluable artistic voice.

Becoming Red – Using behind-the-scenes footage from between takes, we take a closer look at Lupita Nyong'o's intense and mesmerizing performance as "Red."
Deleted Scenes
We're All Dying – Hilarious outtakes from the conversation between Winston Duke and Tim Heidecker on the beach.
