Night at the Museum is coming to DVD in a Two-Disc Special Edition, and M&C is teaming with Fox Home Entertainment to give away five copies of the DVD.

The film will arrive on April 24th in both a single disc (for a suggested retail price of $29.98) and Two Disc Special Edition (for a suggested retail price of $34.98). In Night at the Museum, Ben Stiller (Dodgeball, Meet the Parents, There’s Something About Mary) stars as Larry Daley, an unlucky, yet hopeful dreamer who takes a job as a graveyard-shift security guard at the famous museum. When it closes at night, Larry soon learns that things are not what they seem when a Tyrannosaurus Rex skeleton wants to play fetch, an Easter Island monolith talks to him and Attila the Hun attacks.

With the museum denizens loose and not wanting to lose his job, Larry turns to a re-animated wax figure of President Theodore Roosevelt (played by Oscar-winner Robin Williams, Best Supporting Actor, Good Will Hunting, 1998) to help save the museum. Night at the Museum also stars Paul Rudd (The 40 Year Old Virgin) and some of Hollywood’s all-time favorite comedians Dick Van Dyke (“The Dick Van Dyke Show,” “Diagnosis Murder”) and Mickey Rooney (The Black Stallion, Babes in Arms).The Night at the Museum (Two-Disc Special Edition) DVD is presented in widescreen format with Dolby Surround 5.1 DTS in English and Dolby Surround in French and Spanish.
