Fabulous Films.

Have Warner changed their licensing policy for the UK?

I was surprised too but I looked it up and it's a Regency title, so perhaps like other titles such as JFK, L.A. Confidential and Heat this has actually switched over to Fox for distribution. That's the only explanation I can come up with.

Regency fully financed a lot of the films that they made while they had the distribution deal with WBs - those will have flipped to Fox under their current agreement.

The co-financed/owned properties though, feck knows - JFK is co-owned and with Fox, as are L.A. Confidential, Heat, and Fight Club, whereas other co-owned properties like The Client, A Time to Kill, and Free Willy, remain with WBs....

Just watch a few more of his movies.
Bit by bit, one way or another, you will like him more.

Hate?
I hate the toxic fandom, I don't hate a company I just will not support piss poor quality control and there are normally other options for the films they have licenced.

A very underrated Carpenter and Chevy film; I knew it would come out on Blu Ray as I just re-watched the DVD the other day. No need to thank me all at once

Loving all the Chase references in this thread.

Chase made quite a few really entertaining films, with Fletch and at least 2 of the Vacations being comedy classics.

Some prime Chase for noobies:
Foul Play
Caddyshack
Vacation 1-4
Fletch
Funny Farm
Spies Like Us
The Three Amigos (though I haven't watched it in a while)
Memoirs...

I'll watch Caddyshack. That's the best I can do.

But I'm not sitting through Three Amigos or the Vacation films ever again.

Fair enough, I’d just noticed your comments a couple of times against them, as if they were the devil or something.

These cheap budget releases arent worth the price. Not even hoh subs, laughable.

This should go directly to az 5 for 30.

I can get Arrow releases for the same price.

So is there anyway to tell which Regency titles are with Regency themselves (i.e. Fox) and which are still with (co-producers) Warner Bros.?

Park Circus is the best bet really, although they don't list all titles. Anything post-1999 should be with Fox as that's when get switched over from WBs to Fox.

Pre-1999;

WBs:
Falling Down
Natural Born Killers
The Devil's Advocate
City of Angels

Fox:
Sommersby
Made in America
Empire Records
Copycat
North Star
The Man Who Knew Too Little
Dangerous Beauty
The Negotiator
Pushing Tin

From what I’ve seen, Fox bought out Regency in 1997, ending Regency’s previous Warner’s deal. Maybe, as part of the buyout, Warner’s kept the distribution rights to back catalogue titles for another 20 years before flipping them over to Fox. That’s the only way I can think of it.

Worth noting that Heat, LA Confidential and other formerly Warner’s titles are now distributed by Fox on BD.

CouncilSpectre · 08-18-2018, 10:39 AM

The deal with Fox was made in 1997 but it didn't take over distribution until 1999, when the WBs deal officially ended.

The back catalogue, as per above, still appears to be split - the only movies that will have definitely moved to Fox from pre-1999 are the ones that Regency fully financed. The ones that WBs contributed to financially, we've seen some now released by Fox, and some by WBs.

Billz · 08-18-2018, 01:09 PM

Probably the only Chevy Chase movie that I actually liked.
