Doesn't give a date, but it must not be in very high demand because Amazon still has new copies for $25. Of course you can still find new HD DVDs as well.

I know several members have this, but I also know several that want it and can't find it anywhere, unless they want to pay a ridiculous price.

Funny thing about the Dale Earnhardt story blu-ray - I saw it for $3 at Big Lots and still passed on buying it. But, I guess anyone who is interested in it, check at Big Lots, if you have stores in your area.

Oh, also: Blu Titan, The Man Who Fell to Earth is another Criterion blu which is now out of print.

that's the one I was going to mention.
hard to know if it is really OOP, or if Paramount is still deciding whether or not to have more copies pressed.
so crazy that such a great film--that was unavailable on dvd for so long--
is now possible already OOP.

Alright, just like the title says, this is for Blurays that are (REPORTEDLY NOT OFFICIALLY) OOP or have been listed as discontinued, but at least might still be readily available on Amazon or other retailers (for now). We've dabbled in certain editions of a movie, but I'm kind of trying to stay more towards movies that were released, but now don't have another one (with Criterions being the main exception, as The Third Man has since been rereleased). I don't know, if enough people want a change in format so that I put in stuff like the Natural Born Killers Blu-Book (even though a normal version is still in print) gets put in the list, I can. It's really a judgment call. Regardless, for now, here we have a list. Enjoy and contribute, please.


AGAIN. TAKE THESE AT FACE VALUE. NONE OF THESE HAVE BEEN CONFIRMED, JUST REPORTED AS OOP. I'M JUST TRYING TO HELP OUT IF THEY INDEED ARE OOP.

Paramount - Some of these are still available, some are gone and have gone up severely in price. This seems to be the worst company with Blu's already out of print that may not actually be out of print, so be wary about Paramount. Clearly, this is one giant fustercluck, but since these are nearly all of the titles that have appeared near any rumor with the words 'Bluray' 'OOP' 'Paramount' in them, I'm going to keep them.

Just looked it up on Amazon and it's still on the cheap. So either it hasn't hit yet, or it's just not in enough demand.

good luck on the thread. i think its an excellent idea. you might want to add the disney titles that go back into the vault. i think its sleeping beauty and i read fantasia possible early next year.

Yeah, I think right now it's just Sleeping Beauty, although it's still available, too, but I do know it for sure went into the vault at the beginning of this year. I'm sure within the next 6 months it'll be a lot harder to find.

[Adrock]

Here are some others that are confirmed out of print.

They Live
-No announcements as to a new release/special edition.

Memento
-Out of print due to 10th Anniversary Edition being released in 2011.

[DonTheDragon]

Apparently Point Break has gone oop. I was recently trying to find one for a christmas gift and thought for sure that walmart would have it cheap but nope. Theyre out too.

[tfunk]

Thanks for letting me know, and keep 'em coming. I'll continue to update as best I can, and if there's info on a future release, I'll put that after the title (as I did with Memento).

[ArmyOfDarknessAW]

Change They Live from being under Universal. From what i know it has not been released stateside yet by Universal. I wish it was its such a great movie. Also nice thread.

[jonno394]

I don't know if you are including anime, but if so, you might want to add some by Bandai Visual USA.

2.SOS! Tokyo Metro Explorers
3.Freedom
4.Jin-Roh.

I only put it under Universal because that's the distributor of the movie (at least it was for the DVD). I know it was different wherever else it was released, but stateside it was Universal, so I'll just keep it as that since it's the studio.

I know less than nothing about Anime, but as long as people are ok with me just putting it under the folder 'Anime' and basically copying and pasting whatever people say about it that's OOP, then that's fine with me.

Thats what i am saying. Universal has never released it on Blu yet. The studio that put it OOP is Optimum Home Entertainment. Universal had nothing to do with its release or it going OOP. I only say it because it is a bit confusing. I know when i saw it listed under Universal i right away went to Amazon to see if it had somehow slipped by me that it was released. But its your thread i was just giving help. Also i think Hot Rod is OOP on Blu.

Alright, I wasn't sure who put it OOP on Blu, so I'll switch that. Thanks for clarifying. And, duh, I even knew about Hot Rod and I forgot. This is going to be more managing than I had ever anticipated, haha.

Correct. 'They Live' was released as a Region Free title by Optimum Home Entertainment in the UK. It has never been released in North America, so that should be updated in the first post.

Great thread by the way, it will be a good resource.

[aggienader08]

Should things like the Harry Potter: Years 1-5 gift set be included as OOP?
