For the week of May 11th, Disney and 20th Century Studios have a 4K UHD release for David Fincher's Fight Club (1999), starring Brad Pitt, Edward Norton, Helena Bonham Carter, Meat Loaf and Jared Leto. Sourced from a new 4K master, 20th Century presents Fight Club with DTS-HD MA 5.1 audio and Dolby Vision HDR on the 4K UHD disc. Extras include four archival audio commentaries (on both the 4K UHD disc and the Blu-ray), deleted and alternate scenes, a trivia track, featurettes, a music video and more.

New on Blu-ray from Lionsgate Home Entertainment is James Sweeney's Twinless, starring Dylan O'Brien, James Sweeney, Aisling Franciosi, Chris Perfetti, François Arnaud, Tasha Smith and Lauren Graham.

Description: This thought-provoking and at times disarmingly comic film from writer-director James Sweeney explores themes of friendship, love, and life-altering loss. Two men, Roman (Dylan O'Brien) and Dennis (James Sweeney), meet and form an unlikely bond in a twin support group as they search for solace and identity without their other halves. But when Roman meets Dennis's ebullient colleague, Marcie (Aisling Franciosi), things begin to fall apart as each man harbors secrets that could unravel everything.

New on Blu-ray from the Criterion Collection is Ira Sachs' Peter Hujar's Day, starring Ben Whishaw and Rebecca Hall.

Description: A loving snapshot of a vanished New York, director Ira Sachs's captivating cultural time capsule is a warm, witty, graceful re-creation of a real-life conversation that took place between photographer Peter Hujar (Ben Whishaw) and writer Linda Rosenkrantz (Rebecca Hall) in 1974. Peter Hujar's Day eavesdrops on the two friends' leisurely, affectionate hangout as Hujar recounts his previous day's activities, offering insights into both his art and his everyday life. What emerges is a touching celebration of creativity, connection, and simply being present, made exceptionally vivid by Sachs's cinematic flourishes and wonderfully tender performances from Whishaw and Hall, whose chemistry gives the film its heart and soul.

Criterion's Blu-ray of Peter Hujar's Day contains an interview with Ira Sachs, the documentary Images: Making "Peter Hujar's Day," and a trailer. Also included are notes by author and film curator Michael Koresky.

Also included is an essay by author and film curator Michael Koresky.

New on Blu-ray from Shout Factory and GKIDS is MTJJ and Jie Gu's The Legend of Hei II (罗小黑战记2), featuring the voices of Xin Shan, Mingyue Liu, Zhenji Huang, Lu Li (XIV), Siyu Chen and Jingxing Ren.

Description: When an attack shatters the fragile peace between the spirit world and humanity, Hei teams up with Luye, the last disciple of his Shifu Wuxian, to expose a conspiracy that threatens both realms – and the bond they've sworn to protect. With gorgeous, hand-drawn animation from directors MTJJ and Gu Jie, The Legend of Hei 2 is the long-awaited follow-up to the 2019 feature The Legend of Hei, delivering an emotional and action-packed story that will resonate with audiences new and returning.
