Several David Fincher films have been getting the 4K Blu-ray treatment lately–and the thriller Panic Room is among the latest batch arriving on February 18. The Panic Room 4K Steelbook Edition is now up for preorder at Walmart, and we’re expecting a standard 4K Blu-ray to be announced shortly. We’ve already seen the steelbook go out of stock once, so if you’re looking to add the film to your collection in early 2025, you’ll want to move fast before it disappears for good.
$46
This version of the film includes 4K, Blu-ray, and digital copies of Panic Room. David Fincher himself supervised the 4K restoration to ensure it’s authentic to the original format, and it supports Dolby Vision and HDR–making it the best way to enjoy the hit film on modern screens.
The steelbook is filled with bonus features (presented on standard Blu-ray, not 4K Blu-ray), including commentary from Fincher and the cast, six features showing behind-the-scenes footage, an hour-long documentary on the principal photography phase, and a staggering 21 documentaries and featurettes discussing the movie’s visual effects.
Combined, that makes this an absolute treasure trove of content for Panic Room fans–and coupled with its cool steelbook, it packs in a lot of value for its asking price.

The classic Fincher film is based on the true story of the Zodiac serial killer–and with big names like Jake Gyllenhaal, Robert Downey Jr., Mark Ruffalo, and Chloe Sevigny starring in the thriller, it’s a perfect complement to Panic Room.
