Nope it's a matter of looking up titles yourself

SHOUT announced a number of titles going OOP earlier this year on their website in a dedicated section, they were sitting there for a while.

Don't know, but MVD did a brief sale in the past few weeks exhausting their own supplies of many of these titles for close-out prices. I managed to grab RONIN, FISH CALLED WANDA, and DILLINGER for around $5.00-$7.00 each! So that was some indication that they may have been on their way out.

If anybody is looking for a copy of Blood Bath, it appears Frys still has it in stock:

No, it's a Disney vaulting.

I'm sure it'll remain on streaming, but home video for 24 is over and what's out there is it.

Sad to say that it looks like Cotton Comes To Harlem is OOP from Kino.

[traths]

Not sure if it's been mentioned yet but the Chasing Amy blu appears to be out of print.

I remember that but can’t figure out how I missed this one. I was actually expecting it and titles like Henry V to go OOP too. I must be going blind

It's Disney now, that'll never happen.

Camelot (digibook) and Conspiracy Theory are still readily in stock direct from Amazon.

Did Conspiracy Theory REALLY go OOP, or is it just a hoax?

Camelot digibook is only fulfilled by Amazon, it is sold by a third-party seller.

I was only trying to help. When a title is fully deleted from wbshop.com, that seems like a pretty good sign that it's OOP. If it's merely out of stock there, they leave the listing and say that it's currently unavailable.

My mistake in not noting that Conspiracy Theory is currently still available directly from Amazon.

I've removed all the postings.

Just FYI though, here are a LOT of Warners titles that I own that have been removed from wbshop and are unavailable direct from Amazon anymore. That was the info I had started to post.

It has been completely removed from the wbshop catalog. I strongly suspect it's OOP, and retailers just have some remaining stock. Since it's a deep catalog title, I think you're safe for a while until it runs out, but no telling when that will be.

My mistake in not noting that those two titles were currently still available through Amazon.

I forgot how upset people get when I post info like this, so I've removed all the postings.

I don't get upset. You just have a tendency to jump the gun a lot when it comes to whether or not a title is actually out of print.

If a title has been removed from wbshop.com, it is OOP. There may be stock remaining at some retailers, but it's not being produced anymore and not being sold by the manufacturer.

Most studios don't have direct-order websites, but the Warners one is really helpful for this.

I've rarely been wrong on anything I've posted, the titles that are still available from retailers dry up soon enough, they're just deep catalog titles, so they're not selling tons of units every day.

[James Luckard]

If it would be useful to other members, I'd be glad to repost the titles I was posting, in a single post.

Again, these are titles that have been entirely removed from the wbshop.com site, but may still be available at Amazon, etc. I can clearly label them as such. When wbshop is simply out of stock, they say so, when they remove a listing completely, a title is OOP from them.

To me this is useful info, because that means it's still possible to pick them up at reasonable prices before they vanish.

Any other members, please let me know if there is interest in a list like this.

I'd say it's useful. HD Goofnut can decide what to add to the list or not.

Please, post the list! It's always useful.

[HD Goofnut]

Yeah, post the list and I'll research each title.

[James Luckard]

These are the Warners titles that I own or know of that have been entirely removed from wbshop.com. That usually means with almost 100% certainty that they are OOP. There may still be stock among some retailers, but it would be wise to buy them now, just like the Fox titles that have been drying up, but were available for many months after production of them stopped.

Just to be clear, when wbshop is merely out of stock on a title, they note this, and the page remains, you just sign up to be notified when they get it back in stock. They only seem to completely delete pages for titles when they take them entirely out of print.



These two are still available in the set of all 4, but the individual releases are OOP
3D only is OOP
reissued by Fox with a VERY different transfer. That release is also OOP
reissued by Fox, retailers still stock that issue, but all Fox titles seem likely to be OOP
