<P> The original 1985 soundtrack album only included two tracks culled from Silvestri's compositions for the film, both Huey Lewis tracks, the songs played in the film by the fictional band Marvin Berry and The Starlighters (and Marty McFly), one of the vintage 1950s songs in the movie, and two pop songs that are only very briefly heard in the background of the film . On November 24, 2009, an authorized, limited - edition two - CD set of the entire score was released by Intrada Records . </P> <P> Back to the Future opened on July 3, 1985, on 1,200 screens in North America . Zemeckis was concerned the film would flop because Fox had to film a Family Ties special in London and was unable to promote the film . Gale was also dissatisfied with Universal Pictures' tagline "Are you telling me my mother's got the hots for me?". </P> <P> When the film was released on VHS in 1986, Universal added a "To be continued ..." graphic at the end to increase awareness of production on Part II . This caption is omitted on the film's DVD release in 2002 and on subsequent Blu - ray and DVD releases . </P> <P> In October 2010, in commemoration for the film's 25th anniversary, Back to the Future was digitally restored and remastered for a theatrical re-release in the US, the UK and Italy . The release also coincided with Universal Pictures Home Entertainment's Blu - ray Disc releases of the trilogy . </P>
