New this week on DVD and Blu-ray:

''Snow White and the Huntsman'' - In the battle to reimagine the ''Snow White'' fairy tale, this was the clear winner, grossing twice as much as the more comedic ''Mirror, Mirror.'' Kristen Stewart plays Snow White as a warrior as she trains with a huntsman (Chris Hemsworth) and teams with a prince (Sam Claflin) to wrest control of the kingdom from evil queen Ravenna (Charlize Theron).

Director Rupert Sanders is joined by visual effects supervisor Cedric Nicolas-Troyan and co-editor Neil Smith for the commentary track, and there also is a featurette called ''A New Legend Is Born.'' Blu-ray buyers get interactive features and four additional featurettes. (Universal Studios Home Entertainment, $29.98 DVD, $34.98 Blu-ray)

''What to Expect When You're Expecting'' - The reference book for soon-to-be parents is the loose inspiration for this ensemble comedy about five couples about to become parents and the assorted challenges that presents. The ensemble cast features Cameron Diaz, Jennifer Lopez, Elizabeth Banks, Chace Crawford, Brooklyn Decker, Anna Kendrick, Matthew Morrison, Dennis Quaid, Chris Rock and Rodrigo Santoro.

Extras include a digital download copy, deleted scenes and the featurettes ''The Dudes Unscrewed'' and ''What to Expect and the Pregnancy Bible.'' (Lionsgate Home Entertainment, $29.95 DVD, $39.99 Blu-ray)

''Titanic'' - The top-grossing film of all time makes its Blu-ray debut in both 2D and 3D formats. Many of the extras are carryovers from the DVD edition (such as three different commentary tracks), although there are two new documentaries, ''Reflections on Titanic'' and ''Titanic: The Final Word with James Cameron.'' (20th Century Fox Home Entertainment, $39.99 Blu-ray / DVD / digital copy combo, $54.99 3D Blu-ray / 2D Blu-ray / digital copy combo)

''6 Bullets'' - Jean Claude Van Damme plays an ex-mercenary assisting a MMA fighter (Joe Flanigan) searching for his kidnapped daughter who was snatched by a foreign crime syndicate. (Sony Pictures Home Entertainment, $26.99 DVD)

''Girl in Progress'' - A teenaged girl (Cierra Ramirez) with a distracted single mother (Eva Mendes) decides to skip all that coming-of-age, adolescent drama and move straight to adulthood in a film co-starring Matthew Modine and Patricia Arquette. The only extra is a making-of featurette. (Lionsgate Home Entertainment, $19.99 DVD)

''Where Do We Go Now?'' - Lebanon's official selection in the Best Foreign Language Film category at the Academy Awards, this film blends humor and lighthearted musical moments too look at the religious differences between Christians and Muslims in a small Lebanese village.

The disc includes a commentary track with director Nadine Labaki and composer Khaled Mouzanar, and they are joined by producer Anne-Dominque Toussaint on a featurette. (Sony Pictures Home Entertainment, $30.99 DVD, $45.99 Blu-ray)
