The studios are pretty much done with catalog titles, other than what are consider essentials (Jaws, Wizard of Oz, Godfather, Star Wars etc.). There is no profit in releasing lower tier titles, so essentially it is up to the Indies like TT, Olive, Kino, Shout, Image, Criterion etc to picku up the slack. I know for a fact that Twilight Time is shocked by its success. They started the company in hopes of releasing the titles the studios may otherwise neglect. It was done for collectors and not the mass public. Perhaps they may change their structure. The recent upgrade to 5,000 units of The Blob indicates they are flexible about their overall plan. But in the meantime, just take it all in and enjoy. This may be the last time you will own any of these titles on physical media.
