As ROBOCOP Arrives on Blu-ray & DVD, we’ll be celebrating “RoboCop Day” with Detroit’s Finest and Major League Baseball.
“ROBOCOP DAY” HONORS FUTURE OF AMERICAN JUSTICE WITH THE DETROIT TIGERS AND LOCAL POLICE
To commemorate the Blu-ray and DVD release of ROBOCOP on June 3, Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Studios (MGM) and Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment invite the city of Detroit to honor the iconic crime fighter that helped save the city with “RoboCop Day.” In conjunction with Imagination Station and the Detroit Police Department, “RoboCop Day” will kick off with a dedication of the new monument honoring the legendary hero that will soon have a home in the city. Fans can also participate in a meet-and-greet with RoboCop, get an exclusive look at the motorcycles and props from the movie, see a mock of the statue, and get free cupcakes courtesy of Just Baked.
RoboCop will then hit the streets on the way to Comerica Park to throw out the first pitch before the Detroit Tigers take on the Toronto Blue Jays.

Detroit’s police officers have one of the toughest jobs in the U.S., and Fox wants a fun and interactive way to honor them in the heart of the city they protect each day. “RoboCop Day’” aims to celebrate and give people a chance to meet the day-to-day heroes of Detroit and its iconic superhero, RoboCop.
About the movie:
When Alex Murphy (Joel Kinnaman) – a loving husband, father and good cop doing his best to stem the tide of crime and corruption in Detroit – is critically injured, OmniCorp grabs their chance to build a part-man, part-robot police officer. OmniCorp envisions a RoboCop in every city and will stop at nothing – no matter the cost to Alex – to make sure the program succeeds. But OmniCorp never counted on one thing: there is still a man fighting inside the machine.
Catch it on Blu-ray & DVD Tuesday, June 3, 2014!
This is going to be so much fun. I really wish my family could attend. Well, at least we can buy it on June 3rd. We are looking forward to watching it! 🙂
This is a great idea – I’ve read some articles about Detroit and the problems, what a positive way to help make change from the heart! Sounds wonderful and maybe some other cities will take notice and would like to do the same kind of program!
That sounds like so much fun! How cool!
