Cowboys and Aliens Blu-ray Combo Pack Details, Artwork & Release Date

Universal Studios Home Entertainment has finally revealed all the details surrounding the Blu-ray release of Jon Favreau's cross genre adventure Cowboys and Aliens. The sci-fi/western mash-up starring Daniel Craig and Harrison Ford hit theaters last July to a lukewarm reception from both critics and audiences. It pulled in $99 million domestically which was a bit of a disappointment condering its hefty $163 million budget.
