Sounds like they haven't got a return on the costs of the last batch yet. If sitting on the fence, buy them!
There was a large gap between the last batches as well, so maybe they've all been slow burners.
Scream Factory are involved now as well, they might front the costs or share costs in some new restorations once they get around to releasing those films.
Network do have an ongoing deal with SC, so there's still hope there too.

Safe to say while there is a Hammer niche, these Blu's are all slow burners in terms of sales. The renaming titles will come out, just not as fast as we'd like them to.
I'm in the US of the German set was a no brainier, SC licensed them for sale, they got the $$ they wanted, and while I prefer individual cases, the price difference was too big for my financial advisory to ignore.
My $$ is on Scream, who have a deal with Warner's and SC.
They committed to a large group of Spanish horror films, so here is hoping they cough up a big chunk of the remaining 'new to blu' titles.
