The 20th anniversary edition will be released on April 30 (sorry to those hoping it’d be Oct. 3), but Amazon has opened preorders so you can make sure you don’t miss out on snagging this limited-edition collector’s piece.

‘Mean Girls’ 20th Anniversary Edition
You can finally get a copy of your own Burn Book with the newest edition of Mean Girls. The limited-edition DVD is available in 4K UHD that will arrive encased in a special steelbook inspired by the famous Burn Book, and featuring a red lipstick pattern on the back. Each DVD will include the 4K disc as well as a digital code to stream it online and on the go.
The original Mean Girls is based on the book Queen Bees and Wannabes by Rosalind Wiseman, and has become a cult-classic movie that still dominates pop culture today.
Already, the collector’s edition has become the No. 1 bestseller on Amazon for movies and TV — and it hasn’t even been released yet. The film’s popularity even led to a Broadway musical adaptation that was recently turned into its own movie.
