May 2 — United Artists’ 1988 Oscar-winning movie Rain Man is getting a new re-issue.
MVD Entertainment Group announced Tuesday, it is scheduled to re-issue the movie on a new 4K UHD/Blu-ray combo pack and separate standalone Blu-ray May 30. Starring Tom Cruise (Top Gun, Top Gun: Maverick, Minority Report, Days of Thunder) and Dustin Hoffman (The Graduate, Hook, Tootsie) as estranged brothers Charlie and Raymond Babbit respectively. Charlie does not know he had a brother until he learns of the passing of his father, who had left his whole fortune to Raymond.
