You can search Criterion's website using the OOP filter.

I known that Dailyan has posted a list of Fox releases from UK label Eureka, but I don't have a link to it right now.

And here is a link to a posting by the Kino Lorber Insider at Home Theater Forum breaking down Kino releases by studio. Fox is the second studio in the list, after a loooong list of MGM titles.

And here's one for UK label Signal One (and related label Plan B):

Signal One Entertainment:

Between Heaven and Hell
Black Widow
Compulsion
The Culpepper Cattle Co.
Damnation Alley
Deadfall
The Earth Dies Screaming
Eyewitness
Guns at Batasi
The Iron Curtain
Kiss of Death
The Magus
Man Hunt
The Mephisto Waltz
The Panic in Needle Park
Panic in the Streets
Rawhide
The Seven-Ups
Sherlock Holmes in New York
Stagecoach
The Sun Also Rises
Super Troopers
The Three Faces of Eve

Plan B Entertainment:

The Boston Strangler
Broken Arrow
The Sheriff of Fractured Jaw

Any deals Fox made with third-party labels will be honored, so those will not all go out-of-print instantly. Even if Disney doesn't renew a single one, which is not a guarantee, there are still years left on some of those contracts.

It's not a question of whether they will go OOP instantly. It's a question of "what's out there that I can look for and (if possible) buy now so that I don't get caught short later". About half of the Fox titles released by Twilight Time are OOP, though many of them are available from other labels, if wanted.

I would agree that there's probably no reason for a Fox Feeding Frenzy. But there's nothing wrong with having the information available with which to prioritize purchases, if that's what one wants to do.

Those Twilight Time Fox titles that are out of print are all, every single one of them, out of print because all 3000 copies have been sold. Not a single one of them being oop is in any way related to the Disney buyout.

The King of Comedy might be OOP also.

Seems like its been in and out of stock ever since Joker came out and people found out it was an influence on that movie.

Hamilton Book still has copies if anybody is looking for it:

Came across these 3 discs today at Game Xchange in Mckinney, TX!

Apocalypto- $5.99
Bruce Lee Double: The Big Boss/ Fist of Fury- $7.99
Bruce Lee Double: The Way of the Dragon/ Game of Death- $7.99

Figured I’d take the cheaper route for the Bruce Lee films rather than invest in Criterion Collection‘s upcoming set.

[DVD Josh]

Picked up a ton of still reasonably priced Fox discs from the Bay, BN, Amazon, and BBY.

Figured better now than never. Some of these Fox titles are definitely not coming back into print under the Disney banner. For example, we all know Disney will never release The Ringer, lol.

[towecana]

Just snagged the last copy of Poltergeist II at Target.com

[WBMakeVMarsMovieNOW]

not a disc list but in some ways easier to go through these for titles you want and then you can go check if they came out on blu-ray:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Fox_Film_films
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_o...5%E2%80%931999)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_o...0%E2%80%932020)
granted sometimes distribution may be different than production though

Been looking for a list just like this. Thanks all for putting it together.

I didn't say they were. The point is that if people know they exist, they can look for them, and if they're OOP, people can look for alternate editions.

Rapture, for example, has only been released on Blu-ray twice: once by Twilight Time, once by Eureka. Both are OOP, and the film is unlikely to get another physical media release. Someone who happens to come across one available somewhere will know to snag it.

For another example, seeing that both TT releases of Journey to the Center of the Earth are OOP, someone might make a choice to go for the UK, German, or Australian releases. This is a film that I would expect to be added to Disney+ at some point, but whether it ever gets another physical release is unknown.

You make a good point when you say that we don't know that Disney will decide not to extend or renew licenses for the Fox films to other labels. But we also don't know that they will. If people don't want to take that chance, having the information about what's out there now, and what might therefore (eventually) go out of print, is a good thing.

That said, this is probably not the thread to be posting such lists (he says, after having done so). Perhaps a dedicated thread for what non-Fox labels have released Fox titles on Blu-ray is warranted.

Keep in mind people all these "recent oop" discs, might not be OOP, just hard to repress in these current times. Unless otherwise known officially. I wouldn't freak out about anything that seems OOP now, unless like I said, there's official word. After all, toilet paper seemed OOP for a while but now it's back.

Picked this Blu-ray up for a buck at Dollar Tree earlier this year. That could mean someone is dumping them.

Shout titles blow up pretty quickly once they do disappear from the major sites. I'm having a hard time even predicting when they'll officially run dry but at the same time don't feel like buying a whole bunch of them right now. Some make sense than others to me, like Candyman 2. I was surprised a movie like Miami Blues was quick to go and it's a tough one to find for a decent price now.

DT is a great heads up because once it shows up there it usually means it'll either go OOP not long after, the company is liquidating (Relativity being the prime example -- Universal also seems to dump releases too once they expire the digital code) or a new release on the horizon (i.e. Pillow Talk blu showing up at DT and Big Lots and a new edition of it came out recently I believe)

[Hellhound]

I believe Sunshine is OOP. Although a few 3rd Party sellers on Amazon claim to have it, one of them is MovieMars who I've found to be unreliable when it comes to actually having the item.

Amazon still has it for less than list price. It appears to be an entire season of the show so maybe it wasn't ever particularly cheap.
