Can a blu-ray disk play in a regular dvd player?

I accidentally grabbed a blu-ray disc movie for my daughter for her Easter Basket. It says it will play in a blu-ray player or a PS3. Will it play in a DVD player? We havent opened it, so I can still swap it if I need to. Thanks so much!!

Happy Easter!!

    Blu-ray discs can only be played on Blu-ray players and in the PS3 because the PS3 its also a Blu-ray player. Regular dvd can be play on Blu-ray players.

    You need to swap it.

    DVD discs will play on Blu-Ray players but Blu-Ray Discs will NOT play on DVD Players.

    Sorry!

    Happy Easter!

    Don't open it unless you have a PS3 or a Blu-Ray player. Or else you won't be able to watch it until you have one of the above!
