I think they just have the rights to future sequels.

I don’t know though, I’m still trying to comprehend not caring for The Fog

I'm more taken back that someone would pass on Assault on Precinct 13 and Starman.

Zolly Becker is a full-time troll. The dude sent me and others a barrage of messages calling us paedophiles and saying stuff about the "Jewish might of America" coming down on us, etc etc, when we called the reveal fake.

One look at his Twitter, YouTube, Facebook, etc and you can quite clearly tell he's a troubled guy. I wouldn't believe a word the man says about anything.

And for clarification, he fully admitted on DotD Instagram post (in a comment underneath) that he doesn't have a source for these. When asked he simply said, "I dunno".

This could be a new front in the Label Wars. Maybe Synapse was close to landing Halloween before Shout swooped in?

Five films at $60 a pop for steelbooks = $300. It's a good thing Shout swooped in

Mill Creek did a new release a few years back.

It's possible but personally I doubt it.
And if it did I could see JC not being heavily involved with the special features similar to the Escape from LA release.

But I would double dip for it. I think it would be cool if all of JC's films were released on Scream Factory.

I saw that. What's interesting, most people give you one reply full of insults. This guy gives you five back to back.

Craven's Estate regained control of the character/franchise in the last 2 years or so.

You forgot to mention that those steelbooks would also likely have a street date of October 1st 2029.

Not to mention we would probably still be waiting for them to get released

His estate gained the copyright for the original film in 2019 following the 35 years law. (The law that’s the source of the legal battle for the Friday the 13th films.) It doesn’t seem to have really impacted anything as WB is still distributing the film.

His estate regained us rights to Freddy, but the existing films are unaffected and WB still owns them. The rights only apply to making future films.

A Cure For Wellness seems to have gone out of print. I can't find a copy from a major retailer anywhere online. Third party stores are charging an arm and a leg for it.

Not sure why you are posting this in the Scream Factory Thread as this is a Fox Title (which also explains why it's likely hard to find) but there are 5 copies left on Amazon for $29.99.

Ahh gotcha, that's a good idea! I've been trying to do the same over time.

Why is this so?

Disney Purchased 20th Century Fox in 2019. All Fox titles have slowly sold through their remaining stock as Disney took control of the Library. Certain major franchises have remained in print and always will but much of what Fox owned was allowed to fall out of print while Disney figured out what to do with things. It's a wise idea to buy any/all Fox titles you want if they aren't a major franchise as it's unknown whether Disney will ever press them to disc again.

Yep. If it's Fox, its an endangered species.
