I’m sure it will be reprinted ready for the sequel.

The only releases I have of theirs are The Terror, Monster from Green Hell, and Eegah! I might be wrong, but I think the label "Film Masters" is the same basic company, and they have a newish release of The Terror, so I don't think there's any reason to get that.

Monster from Green Hell and Eegah are both bad movies, but the latter at least is quite fun. I would recommend either if you're interested in them. MFGH is really cheap still and Eegah isn't very expensive either (24 bucks or something).

Once those Film Detective releases sell through their current print runs, don't expect them to come back. The company's new owners (Cineverse) have zero interest in physical media.

I don't know if they're notable, but the three I've seen going for high prices are:

Mission to Mars
Giant from the Unknown
The Brain from Planet Arous

Looks like two are already on the front page list. Giant from the Unknown should probably also be added.

If there are films they’ve released people can particularly vouch for or has good remaster/extras, as I’ve never bought anything from the label.

Good!

There’s a handful of those 4K titles I’d like to see Arrow pickup!

Especially Dressed to Kill and Some Like it Hot… someone needs to correct those audio issues and intro audio.

Same they already did the Great Escape so don’t be surprised if we see The Manchurian Candidate, and The Killing from Arrow Video at some point.

I wonder if these are all circling back to Criterion…

I doubt it, seems like Criterion passed for 4K in the first place. At least it seems that way. Ya never know though.

When Kino Lorber was negotiating with MGM to get these titles, Criterion was only in the initial stages of figuring out how they should get into the 4k market.

A lot has changed since then.

MGM licenses for movies and soundtracks always used to be a couple of years if they aren't renewed AFAIK which is why so many titles of theirs get licensed from one label to another.

I believe they usually follow up with a standard release.

And with better looking slipcover art.

All the Paramount Presents titles are limited editions, they just rarely sell out. There was clearly demand for this title. Chinatown even sold out before release date, I believe.
