I've got my preorder in for this movie that looks so amazing!!

So bummed we didn't get a gorgeous steelbook like this for- Boy Kills World as I quite enjoyed that film
 
You already watched it?
Maybe we will, somewhere...
I mean it only just came out in the UK on the 26th. I wanted to go see it but my local cinema wasn't showing it and I just couldn't be bothered to go to the ones that were at like 10pm. But it's already stopped showing where I live. I think it's far too early to say we won't be getting a steelbook though.
 
Walmart is currently showing the release date as July 9th. I don't know if that's accurate or not.

Best Buy Canada's listing is now showing the release date here as July 23rd.

EDIT: I'm seeing elsewhere that the US release date is the same as Canada, July 23rd.

OP updated for both countries.

Both releases without an extended cut...
Doesn't sound like I'm missing out on much with the extra 20 mins on the extended version. I read this on movie-censorship.com.

Is the extended cut really necessary after the long running time of the theatrical version was often criticized (even in more positive reviews than our short commentary)? No, as expected, the longer version rarely makes the movie better and drags out many scenes even more. With most of the differences, it's actually easy to see why the material was removed from theatrical version in favor of a slightly crisper pacing.
This can be seen right at the beginning, for example, in the re-cuts, which also indicate that the extended cut is an earlier (kind of workprint) version. The film gets underway more quickly in the theatrical version due to the montage with the phone calls, and several scenes are arranged differently in a very similar way later on. The extended version takes more time, while the theatrical version tries to bring in a bit more pace by switching between two locations in a sometimes clumsy and hectic manner. As mentioned above, the theatrical version had the infamous PG-13 rating in America, but the extended version offers no censorship-related deviations.
The rather superficial love story between Gosling/Blunt gets even more screentime in the extended version in the form of emotional scenes. However, the two characters don't really reveal much new information and it often just boils down to a small punchline with which she lets him off the hook a little. Otherwise, the most memorable of the longer scenes is probably the appearance of the unicorn which Colt imagines during the chase under the involuntary influence of drugs. This was already celebrated in the promo spots for the extended version. In addition, Taylor-Johnson's Tom is often allowed to live out his complexes and delusions of grandeur - but this simply slows the movie down a bit. Not really worth it but if you really liked the theatrical cut, you can probably take a second look.
 
Is that actually confirmed?
No. The Italian doesn't, there's no confirmation the UK won't, other than the Amazon mockup, with non bbfc discs I'll add. The UK amaray has the extended in 4K, so it is available over here (and France, and Germany), unlike Italy.

I mean I will assume it will be getting the extended for the moment. Either way I want the steelbook for my 87 north collection so I will be getting it anyway. I would rather not have to pay extra for the extended cut though,.
 
Can we get 6 underground, kate, the day shift, love and monsters while we're at it.
Yes definitely a Kate Bluray or steelbook release. I've ordered it 3 times from China and it never arrived so at this point will just wait for an official if that ever comes to fruition. I'm a huge fan of Tomorrow War and had a custom steelbook made for that flick.
