Warner acquired the Friday the 13th franchise!

[BluPat]

There are now pre-order listings appearing on Amazon and importCDs for the first 3 'Friday the 13th' films being released on Blu-ray from Warner Bros. this January 1, 2013! Not that they are going to be any different than Paramount's but, this does confirm Warner DOES have them.

[Sad Beautiful Tragic]

Please release an entire set! I don't want to buy them individually!

[troykan]

I also hope for the complete set, regardless, I will be a happy camper!

[Frightener22]

Incredible news! I just hope they definitively do the rights things by releasing a full box set as well as uncut versions and giving these films the deluxe treatment they each deserve. Call up Red Shirt Pictures to handle the special features and this set will be a beauty.

A complete boxset with Jason Goes to Hell and Jason X would be nice. I'm not sure if I'd want the latest one included since it was a quasi-reboot. Most fans probably already own Freddy vs Jason. Offering uncut versions and giving us real 3D for part 3 would make it a must-buy.

Heck, if they wanted to they could make a UCE with all of the Jason AND Freddy movies.

I'm sure they'll simply release a boxset and be done with it.

I want the uncut versions as well, but I'm not holding my breath. Everytime the US releases this franchise, they're the R-rated cut versions.

and i'm looking forward to this! i avoided getting part one and two during the U&S

[Guydowood]

one would think Jason Goes to Hell and X will make the box set since WB now owns New Line Cinema....

[dallywhitty]

Groovy. Warner already own the original in the UK, but I've never seen any of the sequels (with the exception of Jason X) so a comprehensive box set would be nice.

[Corey31]

Don't own a single movie from the series but have always wanted too, I'll pick up the box set if they do one.

Yeah, same here. I saw them at BB the other day and passed on them because I knew Warner had aquired the rights to the franchise and that a box set may be possible in the future.

[Dickieduvet]

At this point I don't care if we get the same old Theatrical versions, Just want them on BD.

Way to go Warner, Paramount you suck!

[thompsonjohn]

There's no reason not to include the New Line entries since Warner Bros. owns them ("Jason Goes to Hell", and "Jason X"). In fact I wouldn't be surprised if they did a release with the remakes even and even re-issued "Freddy Vs. Jason" which would split a lot of people who own the releases already, including the first 3 Paramount ones.

I'm already somewhat pissed we may be in the situation where we might have to re-buy the Paramount releases all over again, if we are issued a mega box set of sorts. We know they're capable of it, look at the new "Nightmare on Elm St.", no complaints on the execution and how well it was done, but the no word of warning shit is what I really hate about this business. I almost expected them to finish releasing them in the fashion they did "Nightmare on Elm St. 2 & 3."

Warner if you listen to the fans, give us a be all, end all, everything including the kitchen sink box set release. I mean Christ I'm still holding onto the very first "Friday the 13th" box set on DVD because some of the blu-rays neglected special features that we're on that box set, including Part 3's very fun commentary track.

[Sad Beautiful Tragic]

I have this box set on DVD, but will upgrade in a heartbeat if a Blu-ray set is released.

[Rocky01542]

Wouldn't all the MPAA cut footage be in pretty rough shape now, or were there some uncut film prints floating around in different countries like with the original?

[insomniac013]

Hopefully Freddy vs Jason will be included, since it wasn't in the Nightmare set!

[DetroitSportsFan]

I'd be happy if they just released 4-10 individually, since many of us already bought 1-3 and FvsJ. But I'm sure they'll screw us and release a set.

[Cortiz]

Good news indeed....however, I'm worried that Warner would release a box set just like the Nightmare on Elm Street one with two movies per disc.....I prefer, if that's the case, then I would prefer to get them individually.

A lot of us also held off on buying the individuals hoping there would be a box set, so maybe they'll release individuals and a box set. Maybe they'll give us options.
