Your UHD Back Catalogue Predictions For 2020 (Major Studios Only)

[Scottishguy]

Felt like setting up a prediction thread for anyone that wants to play along. The rules are simple.

1) You can only pick titles that are definitely going to be released by a major studio

2) That upon making your predictions for the forthcoming year. That the film has not been highly rumoured, tentatively announced, or officially announced .

3) Count Lionsgate if you want

I suspect most will be either franchises or tied to one, particularly in regard to what is released in 2020.

Hansel & Gretel (Paramount) to tie in with Gretel and Hansel
Hollow Man (Sony) when The Invisible Man comes out
Godzilla (WB) when Godzilla vs Kong comes out
Top Gun (Paramount) when Maverick comes out
The Conjuring (WB) when TC 3 comes out
What else can be tied in?
Lionsgate will likely gives us more random titles (Son of a Gun please!).

I'd love a Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid release. There's a 4K digital version on iTunes, and it's beautiful. It especially hurts that it's not on disc since 2019 is the 50th Anniversary.

[MovieMatt83]

Disney: Pirates of the Caribbean, Tron Legacy, Beauty and the Beast (live action and animated)

20th Century Fox/Disney: Star Wars 1-7, Rogue One, Home Alone.

Warner Bros/New Line: Elf, A Nightmare on Elm Street, Godzilla (2014), Lord of the Rings.

Universal: Jaws.

I am most interested in what Sony and Disney may do. For Disney 2019 was the year of Marvel/Pixar releases, so I'm curious what they will focus on in 2020. And with Sony, I'm wondering how the 4K UHD survey results will play out.

With Wizard of Oz and Its a Wonderful Life coming out this year (and looking amazing in 4k) I'm hoping that will open the doors for studios to transfer their older catalog to 4K as well. Id like Fox/Disney to release Miracle of 34th Street next year. Cassablanca would be great as well.

Disney will almost certainly release a 9 movie "really complete saga" collection of Star Wars on 4K.

Edit: Having now watched parts of them in 4K DV, it really whets my appetite for this set even more.

I really hope so!! I’d like 1 and 2 on 4k. Just watched them and they still hold up.

[Trekkie313]

My Fair Lady

Arguably the second or third best musical ever made.
It would sell as well as The Wizard of Oz and 2001 on UHD.

[GasmaskAvenger]

For sure, 4K UHDs of The Exorcist, A Clockwork Orange, Full Metal Jacket, Godzilla 2014, Superman II (both Richard Lester and Richard Donnor cuts), 300, An American Werewolf in London, that Benicio Del Toro Wolfman movie and the Saw films are definitely happening next year.

As for major wish list titles...i'd love to see 4K UHDs of Last Action Hero, Heavy Metal, the Elm Street films, Alien 3, THX-1138, Raw Deal, Darkman both Happy Death Day films, Phenomena (with Synapse licensing Arrow's 4K remasters for native 4K discs) and Snowpiercer (in its original aspect ratio).
