Janus just tweeted Nights of Caberia this afternoon.

January- 16th (Monday)

March- 15th (Thursday)
April- 16th (Monday)
May- 15th (Tuesday)
June- 15th (Friday)
July- 16th (Monday)
August- 15th (Wednesday)

None of those involve waiting until the 17th, though.

December is usually a light month with just a few titles so I wouldn't be surprised if the announcement is today.

That's only because all of the fifteenths in 2018 that were on a weekend were Sundays.

That isn't the same thing.

Criterion's own Twitter will post it and it will typically be just a screenshot. Janus posted a poster of Nights of Cabiria, which could mean they have it, but even then, any Janus restoration of the film would take months (after a theatrical release) to come to disc.

MifuneFan · 09-14-2018, 09:27 PM

Nights of Cabiria is a grail title for many including myself. I hope we get a release one day

Agreed. Not only is the film great, but the implication behind it would be even better. If Janus truly does have Nights of Cabiria, then what other OOP StudioCanal titles would they have?

Starting to think we're not getting it back despite the promises that we would when they took it offline in April.

I've emailed but not had the courtesy of a response. As much as I love Criterion, the new site is rubbish, and the lack of communication about "My Criterion" very poor form.

You've got to think an "insider" follows this thread. So, how about an update for the faithful who spend a fortune on your titles?

Is the 2016 release of The Hidden Fortress OOP? I was looking into buying it this evening after watching a 35mm screening of it earlier this week, and the prices for it on Amazon are kinda crazy.

No. A title is only OOP if it says so on Criterion's site. Titles periodically go through periods where they are out of stock via third party vendors. It'll be back at regular prices shortly (and there's a sale coming up soon anyways on Criterion's site where it will be half price so you might as well wait).

True, but my point is "they do make the announcements one day off" is an equally valid conclusion as "they wait until Monday" given the data in question.

It's really not that complicated. If the 15th falls on a weekend, they make the announcements on the Monday (or Tuesday if Monday is a holiday).

andantelise · 09-15-2018, 07:20 AM

Sorry if this is off topic, but what is up with "My Criterion?"

Edit:

I apologize if this has been discussed before, but it has taken ages. You don't think... we won't get it back, right? That's just my cynicism talking, probably.

No, it's not. They (almost) always wait until Monday. For years now.

Just had chance to have a little chat with Pip Chodorov at Beijing (he came to show the wonderful 16mm prints of some experimental shorts at BISFF), Criterion is not going to release the Maya Deren set but some other company will, can not wait for this set!

The data presented didn't include any Friday the 15ths. So yes, both conclusion are equally valid based on the evidence presented.
