The US home-video release of The Beekeeper was set for April 23, 2024, in three physical formats: 4K UHD, Blu-ray and DVD. That date has passed, so the useful question now is which edition you are looking for and whether a given listing matches it. The announced details below come from the 2024 release announcement and a German distributor’s listing, and they describe those releases as announced. They do not confirm what is in stock or what it costs today.
US release date and formats
The US announcement, reproduced by HighDefDiscNews.com on March 6, 2024, set the physical release for April 23, 2024 and listed three formats: 4K UHD, Blu-ray and DVD. The source gives full specifications only for the first two, so treat any DVD details beyond the format and date as unconfirmed. The running time was given as 105 minutes.

What the US editions included
The table compares the two US editions as announced. Prices are the announced figures from 2024, not current retail prices.
| Edition | Announced US date | Video | Audio | Included extras | Announced US price (2024) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 4K UHD | April 23, 2024 | 2160p, 2.39:1, HDR10 | Dolby Atmos | Digital code; no bonus materials | $27.99 |
| Blu-ray | April 23, 2024 | 1080p, 2.39:1 | Dolby Atmos | Digital code; no bonus materials | $22.99 |
| DVD | April 23, 2024 | Not stated in the announcement | Not stated in the announcement | Not stated in the announcement | Not stated in the announcement |
The announcement stated that neither the 4K UHD nor the Blu-ray was set to include bonus materials, and that both carried a digital code. That is what the US announcement says, not a general rule for every country or every later pressing.

The German two-disc edition
A separate German edition from LEONINE Studios is a two-disc 4K UHD plus Blu-ray set dated April 26, 2024, three days after the US date. Its listing describes German and English audio, Dolby Atmos, German subtitles and cast-and-crew interviews. Those interviews are a difference from the US announcement, which listed no bonus materials. (LEONINE Studios, “The Beekeeper 4K UHD + Blu-ray”)
The listing is a German product page, so its territory, language options and included extras apply to that release only. A US buyer should not assume it matches the American set.

How to choose the right edition
Use the following checks before buying, because the two sources describe different packages:
- Territory and release date: confirm whether the listing is the US release (April 23, 2024) or a regional release such as the German one (April 26, 2024).
- Disc formats: a 4K UHD disc needs a 4K UHD-capable player. A Blu-ray-only player will not play the 4K disc, so check the format line in the listing against your hardware.
- Region information: the sources reviewed here do not establish disc-region compatibility for every edition. Check the region information stated on the product page against your player’s region settings before buying an import.
- Languages and subtitles: the German listing includes German and English audio and German subtitles. Confirm the audio and subtitle tracks on any listing you consider.
- Extras: the US announcement lists no bonus materials; the German listing includes cast-and-crew interviews. Compare these against what you want.
- Current availability and price: the 2024 figures are historical. Check the live listing on the seller’s page for stock and price.
Is the film itself easy to find?
The film’s official Miramax page lists it as a 2024 release, names David Ayer as director and Kurt Wimmer as writer, and centres its synopsis on a revenge campaign whose protagonist is revealed to be a former operative of a secretive organisation called the Beekeepers. The page links to Apple and Amazon viewing options. Those links show where the film was offered, not whether it is streaming in your country today. (Miramax, “The Beekeeper – Official Site”)

The US physical release arrived in April 2024 with a 4K UHD option in HDR10 with Dolby Atmos, a 1080p Blu-ray option, and a digital code in both. If you are looking for a copy now, the title is easy to identify, but the edition must be confirmed on the specific listing. Check the territory, the disc formats and the extras before you pay.
