The exclusion of physical media actually keeps coats way down, because they can just release the alternate cut on download and forego all the humongous expense of re-authoring new discs, replication, new cover art, printing, packaging, and shipping. So it's actually MORE cost effective to forego physical media, which is one reason all the companies are starting to do so.

In fact, Fate of the Furious had an extended cut only available on digital, so there are still multiple edits of films coming out just like there always have been.

Um, I say that we likely won’t see multiple cuts of this film on physical media, you lambast me for it, then go on to agree with me and support my assertion??? #wtf

Got mine today, five days early! It was a blind buy based on all of the positive reviews and my pre-existing love for horror. On first watch I was... underwhelmed with the movie. It looks fantastic. The video quality is amazing. But the movie itself was kinda... I dunno... maybe all the positive reviews made me expect too much. I went in wanting to love it, ready to love it, and then came out of it feeling, meh.

As I said, video is fantastic, I did have some issues with the audio, the dialogue is low in the mix which is punctuated with massively loud stingers and score. I was riding the volume more often than usual and after a while that made every appearance of Pennywise more annoying than scary.

Yep. It's a good movie, and also supremely overrated. Better to not go into this one with high expectations.

Curious, what kind of set up do you have for your audio?

Aidenag · 01-05-2018, 07:30 AM

Just watched since it came super early in mail. One of the best dolby vision titles so far. Visuakly stunning.

SexySamSosa67 · 01-05-2018, 08:27 AM

Anyone else waiting to blind buy the Director's Cut?

sukraj · 01-05-2018, 08:32 AM

cant wait till the 15th to pick it up

Resettito · 01-05-2018, 09:21 AM

Extended cut won't be worse, the film is excellent but it moves too fast if you've read the book, it's about 20-30 min away from being great imo, it needs more breathing room, more time with the Losers, more character.

Pieter V · 01-05-2018, 09:22 AM

Could someone let me know, if this is a BD-100 disc? You can count the inner rings of the backside of the disc. Or make a photo if you are unsure.

To the people who are saying they've already received their copies - where did you order from? The street date is Tuesday but Amazon is telling me my copy is expected on the 12th. Is this another case of Amazon sparring with a studio and purposely delaying their product?

I am. I refuse to double dip. The only way I will with IT is if the director does one giant edit of both films.

I think now it's just Amazon can't get its ish together and make deliveries when they promise.

MD-Blu · 01-05-2018, 03:14 PM

I wonder how the pq will be for the 4K version, meaning if it'll be demo worthy.

Chaotic · 01-05-2018, 04:39 PM

I got a shipping notification early wed. morning but still don't have any tracking. Grrr. Still says in pre-shipment phase.

Cortiz · 01-05-2018, 05:20 PM

Isn't this getting an extended version later on this year? I thought I read it somewhere.

Chaotic · 01-05-2018, 05:21 PM

If there is one, it will probably come out near the release of Chapter Two in 2019.

bradnoyes · 01-05-2018, 05:25 PM

Sticking with this release. Given the option I will go with the shorter version 95% of the time. Only problem I'm having right now is being patient and waiting for my disc to arrive. Every time I log into Vudu I'm just so tempted to say **** it and just buy this and Blade Runner 2049.

This. My last three deliveries from Amazon were delayed. Usually only by one day, but delayed nonetheless.

Chaotic · 01-05-2018, 05:31 PM

Same but when they ship items with UPS Sure Post, it will always come late. I have a blu coming and early this morning, it went from a facility in my area to Colorado Springs which is 1.5 hrs south of me. smh.
