I forgot that I have this in a Columbia Classics Boxset, so probably won't buy it again, unless deeply discounted...
 
This price conforms to what Amazon does when they import a uk steelbook with $10+ automarkup for importing. i.e.- I don't believe this is a US release at all, but an imported UK steelbook. -OR- this is gambit to establish a "new normal" on higher priced steelbooks.

It’s a USA SteelBook as it includes Digital Copy and has a release date Tuesday April 29

UK UHD/Blu-ray releases stopped including a digital copy years ago

As usual with Amazon USA and Walmart they often start with MSRP price when listings first go live and then before release date list a lower price.
Amazon and Walmart only went live to pre order on Monday February 10

I hope that is the case. Both STRIPES and GANDHI listed at around $49.99
 
Nice! Glad to see it receive actual artwork on the Steelbook.
As Breakfast Club and other similar titles like Mean Girls got recent steels with no designs just lockers or the burn book.
