HOLLYWOOD -- Another big title is coming to DVD.
Fox will announce Tuesday plans for the Oct. 16 DVD release of Star Wars: Episode I -- The Phantom Menace.
The 1999 picture is the first of George Lucas' Star Wars films to be distributed on the digital format.
A confirmation of sorts, Oct. 16 has been bandied about on several unofficial Star Wars-related Web sites as the projected date of release.
Phantom Menace is the third-biggest theatrical release of all time, with $431 million in U.S. box office receipts. An additional $176 million has been generated in consumer spending on the picture's video rental and purchase.
October is shaping up to be a major month for DVD fans and studio ledger sheets: The Godfather, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs and The Mummy Returns will also be released during the month.
