3D Blu-ray in 2026: New Releases, Where to Buy and Rent

What a 3D Blu-ray case looks like: the band at the top reads "Blu-ray 3D + Blu-ray". This one is Dune. Image: Warner Bros., via Gruv.

A 3D Blu-ray (the format's name is Blu-ray 3D) carries a film in stereoscopic 3D: a separate image for each eye, as in a 3D theater. Prices and stock on this page were checked on October 7, 2026.

What 3D Blu-ray movies are being released in 2026?

Mostly older films. Of the US releases from January to November 2026 that we found, only one is a new film from a major studio: Avatar: Fire and Ash. The table shows the five from Disney, Universal and Warner Bros.; the other nine are folded under it.

Avatar: Fire and Ash has four discs, is region free and lists at $44.99 [1]. The It Came from Outer Space set, a 1953 film in a SteelBook (a metal case), lists at $34.99 [9].

The three Warner Bros. discs are new editions of films from 2013 and 2014.

The other nine 2026 releases: Warner Archive, Kino Lorber and smaller labels

Disc	Label	US release, 2026
Phantom of the Rue Morgue	Warner Archive	October 27 [13]
The Charge at Feather River	Warner Archive	November 24 [14]
The Flesh and Blood Show	Kino Lorber	February 17 [15]
The Stewardesses	Kino Lorber	April 7 [16]
Hyperspace	Kino Lorber	July 28 [17]
Money from Home	Kino Lorber	August 11 [3]
The Bubble	Kino Lorber	September 22 [18]
Dragonfly Squadron	Bayview Entertainment	January 6 [19]
Magnificent Bodyguards	88 Films	June 30 and November 10, two editions [20][21]

The two Warner Archive discs are 1950s films still to come. Kino Lorber's five were made between 1953 and 1984. Dragonfly Squadron is a 1954 film, and Magnificent Bodyguards a 1978 film.

Small labels add more. Six of the eight newest releases on Blu-ray.com's 3D page came from one called Eyepop, and the two Eyepop pages we opened list a recordable disc (BD-R), not a pressed one [7][22][23].

Is there a 3D Blu-ray of...?

Usually yes: of the 19 titles people search for most, 17 have a US 3D Blu-ray; Spider-Man: No Way Home and Terminator 2 do not. All 19 are in the table, in alphabetical order.

"New" is the lowest price for a new copy on Amazon, as shown on the disc's Blu-ray.com page. "Rent" is the price at 3D Blu-ray Rental. "Region" is the disc's region code: a US player needs "Free" or "A".

Harry Potter, Disney and Pixar. The Harry Potter 3D discs we found are of the two Deathly Hallows films only. The Disney and Pixar discs in the table came out between 2011 and 2017. Disney's recent US 3D discs are the three Avatar films.

Spider-Man: No Way Home

We found no US edition. Blu-ray.com has an Australian edition (August 10, 2022) and an import listing of it, neither currently available.

Its region is unclear: the Australian entry says Region B, locked; the import entry says Regions A and B; and a May 2022 AreaDVD report said the planned disc would be region free [61][62][63]. Ask the seller before buying.

Terminator 2

Blu-ray.com's US entry has no release date [64]. The UK edition (December 4, 2017) is marked Region B, locked [65].

The Japanese edition (March 22, 2019) is marked Region A, as US discs are, with English audio, at ¥4,318 on Amazon Japan [66].

The best 3D Blu-rays to buy or rent

One measurable guide is the 3D score in Blu-ray.com's disc reviews. Among well-known discs, Gravity, the remastered Avatar, Life of Pi, Titanic and Kiss Me Kate (1953) each scored the top mark, 5 out of 5 for 3D.

Ten well-known discs scored 4.5 or 5; the five at 4.5 are folded under the table. Columns as in the table above. The rental catalog does not say which edition of Avatar or Hugo it stocks [6].

The five discs that scored 4.5: Avatar: The Way of Water, Mad Max: Fury Road, Pacific Rim, Dune and Hugo

Disc (US release)	3D score	Region	New	Rent
Avatar: The Way of Water (June 20, 2023) [37]	4.5	Free	$24.99	$7.99
Mad Max: Fury Road (September 1, 2015) [38]	4.5	Free	$16.74	$6.99
Pacific Rim (October 15, 2013) [39]	4.5	Free	$19.99	$6.99
Dune (January 11, 2022) [40]	4.5	Free	$27.55	$7.99
Hugo, Arrow limited edition (July 18, 2023) [41]	4.5	A	$19.99	$6.99

Toy Story 3, Cars 2 and this year's Money from Home also scored 5 [42][43][3]; Avatar: Fire and Ash scored 4 [1]. For films ranked by critics, see the best 3D movies, and for the three Avatar discs, Avatar in 3D at home.

Where to rent 3D Blu-rays

3D Blu-ray Rental (store-3d-blurayrental.com) rents 3D discs by mail to residential addresses in the US, and most titles cost $6.99 a rental [6]. It opened in March 2011 and ships from the Chicago area [26][27][28]. We have not ordered from it; what follows is what its own pages say.

Catalog and price

Its 3D category lists 518 titles [6]:

Last checked October 7, 2026: rental prices and stock.

Avatar: Fire and Ash is $8.99. All but 36 titles were marked "In Stock" [6].

Paying per rental

Shipping is free both ways [29]. The late fee is a flat $5 [27][28][30].

The FAQ and the terms give you 7 days from the day the disc arrives; the subscription page says a rental is due 20 days after the ship date [27][28][30]. The two do not agree, so go by your order confirmation.

Subscriptions

Six plans run from $12.99 a month for 2 rentals to $79.99 a month for 16, with no due dates or late fees [31][30].

All six subscription plans and their monthly prices

Per month	Rentals
$12.99	2
$24.99	4
$34.99	6
$43.99	8
$62.99	12
$79.99	16

Titles priced at $8.99 or more are not included and must be paid for separately. That covers 67 of the 3D titles, Avatar: Fire and Ash among them [30][6].

How long it takes

Discs go by USPS First-Class Mail. The FAQ says an order is mailed "within 1 business day if it is immediately available" and that "Typical domestic delivery time is about 5–10 business days."

Under "How long are wait times?" it says: "Most titles ship within 15-30 days. For some hot titles, wait times can be 30-60 days." [27]

Where to buy 3D Blu-rays

We found 3D Blu-rays on sale at five US stores. Amazon, Best Buy and Gruv are in the table; Target and Zavvi US are folded under it.

Last checked October 7, 2026: prices and stock.

Two more stores: Target and Zavvi US, with the SteelBook prices

At Target, a general search shows 2D discs first, so search by title [24].

Imports: Turbine 3D Blu-rays and region codes

Turbine is a German label that ships to the US. Its shop sells a numbered "Turbine Collector Series" of 3D Blu-rays: 19 films at €24.99 each, all with English audio [67].

They include The Super Mario Bros. Movie, Despicable Me 4, Kung Fu Panda 4, Bumblebee, Mission: Impossible – Fallout, Scream VI and Puss in Boots: The Last Wish [67]. Blu-ray.com lists the one disc we checked, The Bad Guys, as region free [68].

Blu-ray.com shows each disc's region under "Playback". On the pages we opened, US and Japanese discs carry Region A or are region free, and UK and Australian discs carry Region B.

For an import, look for "Region free" or "Region A" on that line before ordering. For region-free players, see 3D Blu-ray players.

What is a 3D Blu-ray?

A 3D Blu-ray (the format's name is Blu-ray 3D) is a Blu-ray disc that carries a film in stereoscopic 3D at up to 1080p. The Blu-ray Disc Association completed the specification in December 2009. The video is encoded with MVC (Multiview Video Coding), an extension of the codec ordinary Blu-rays use [8].

Is 4K the same as 3D?

No. 4K is a resolution; 3D is a separate picture for each eye.

The evidence: a 2026 set sold as 4K + 3D, and what the Blu-ray Disc Association said

A set sold as "4K + 3D" puts the 3D version on a Blu-ray 3D disc: Universal's 2026 SteelBook (metal case) of It Came from Outer Space lists 4K Ultra HD, Blu-ray 3D and Blu-ray on two discs [9].

The 4K format itself has no 3D: Victor Matsuda of the Blu-ray Disc Association told What Hi-Fi? in January 2015 that 3D would not be part of the Ultra HD specification [10].

Does a 3D Blu-ray play in 2D?

Not always. The specification gives ordinary players a way to show a 3D disc in 2D [8], but not every disc plays that way: High-Def Digest's reviewer found that the Avatar: Fire and Ash 3D discs would not load on a setup without 3D [74]. Many sets pack a separate 2D disc instead: Avatar: Fire and Ash is sold as "Blu-ray 3D + Blu-ray" [1].

What you need to play a 3D Blu-ray

Besides the disc, three things:

More models, and which game consoles play 3D discs, are in the players guide. For projectors, see 3D projectors.

FlatpanelsHD names those two players as sold new in the US and playing 3D discs. It also reports that Samsung, LG, Oppo, Pioneer and Reavon have left the player market [70].

No 3D version? Convert a 2D film to 3D

A film that has no 3D disc can still be watched in 3D, converted from 2D by AI. That is not the studio's 3D version: software estimates the depth from the 2D picture. Owl3D, the publisher of this guide, makes the Shift. Its software offers two routes.

Instant and live. Play the film as usual on a computer, from a disc in its drive, a video file or a streaming site in a browser, and the Owl3D app converts it to 3D instantly, in real time, as it plays. There is no waiting and no file to prepare. You watch on the Owl3D Shift, a $499, 14-inch glasses-free 3D display used as a second monitor. For Netflix and other copy-protected streaming services, turn off the browser's hardware acceleration first.

For Meta Quest headsets there is Owl3D Link, a companion app: with the Owl3D app running on a Windows PC, it streams what is on the PC to the headset wirelessly, converted from 2D to 3D in real time.

Highest quality, from a file. StereoGen, the strongest conversion model in Owl3D's converter app, is not instant. It takes a video file you have the right to use and hours of processing on your own computer, which needs an NVIDIA RTX graphics card, and makes a 3D file: the highest-quality 3D Owl3D makes. Owl3D describes it as "Hollywood-grade 3D at the highest quality". It is coming soon.

The Shift needs a Windows PC with an NVIDIA RTX 30-series graphics card or newer, or a Mac with Apple Silicon, and shows 3D to one viewer at a time. Owl3D Link works from a Windows PC only.

Can the Shift play a 3D Blu-ray's own 3D? Not directly

Can a glasses-free 3D monitor play 3D Blu-rays? Not directly. The Shift has no disc drive and does not work with a disc player plugged into it. It shows 3D through the Owl3D app on a computer.

It also shows 3D video files: when a file in side-by-side or top-bottom layout plays in a media player on that computer, the app's Stereo 3D Playback feature shows it in 3D on the Shift. A native 3D video player for the Shift is coming soon.

A 3D Blu-ray is a disc, not a file of that kind. For playing one through a computer's Blu-ray drive and player software, see 3D Blu-ray players.

This guide does not cover copying discs; copy protection and local law both bear on that. This is not legal advice.

Frequently asked questions

Are 3D Blu-rays worth it?

They are if you own, or plan to buy, a 3D display and a 3D-capable player. The discs are cheap to try: most rent for $6.99, and several of the best-reviewed cost under $20 new. What is scarce is new films.

Can you give me a list of 3D Blu-ray movies?

The two fullest lists we used are Blu-ray.com's 3D section, which links to a 3D release calendar and a searchable list [7], and 3D Blu-ray Rental's catalog of 518 3D titles with prices [6]. The tables on this page cover the best-reviewed and most-searched discs.

Can I still rent Blu-rays?

Yes, by mail. 3D Blu-ray Rental also rents standard and 4K discs [29]. GameFly advertises Blu-ray and 4K UHD rentals; we could not confirm that it carries 3D discs [71].

Netflix announced the end of its disc service in April 2023 and set September 29, 2023 as the day it would ship its final discs [72].

Do 3D Blu-rays come with 3D glasses?

Not the glasses a 3D TV needs; Blu-ray.com's getting-started list pairs those with the TV [7]. Some restored classics add an anaglyph version, the colored-glasses kind (see anaglyph 3D).

Blu-ray.com's review of The Glass Web says a pair of anaglyph glasses is in the package; its review of Money from Home says none is [73][3].
