Correct.

They're definitely running aggressive right now. October is their money month, and those are still under wraps. I'm a little thrown off by Exorcist 2 and TCM - TNG. A few weeks ago I would've said there was no way they'd do an ANOES box, but now I just don't know. It still seems a little too big of an undertaking. I'm willing to bet the big October boxset is Critters, which is fine with me. I'm calling Critters Box as their big October announcement. ANOES would be great, but it just seems too big. Too massive of a project, unless it's set up for next year. A SDCC announcement, maybe.

Will you all just stop it with the Critters Boxset? You're gonna get my hopes up...

It's possible with the new Warner Brothers deal. I'd love to see what kind of supplemental package they could put together for Thunderdome!

I'd be surprised if Shout!'s license climbed that high up on the Warner foodchain, but I was surprised they secured a license with them, at all.

Childs Play 2 and 3 also hopefully

Exorcist 2? They have access to the entire WB library and this is what they pick?!

You're operating under a misconception. A deal with a studio is nowhere near the same thing as access to their entire library.

Come on . . . can't we just get beyond Thunderdome?

But for serious I would totally love for this to happen

Yup. My understanding is that the process would go like this: WB gives SF a list of available titles (with probably a minimum and maximum number of titles they can pick), and then SF picks. After those titles are released by SF, a new deal can be made, and the process starts over. The lists probably get longer and more prestigious as the partnership goes on.

Usually movies are "sold" to companies like SF in package deals so they probably had to acquire some films they didn't want in order to get to the good stuff.

I don't know how many titles they'll release in October (they may not be done for this month yet), but if I was to predict I'd go for these:

Critters Set
Fright Night (CE)
Night of the Living Dead (1990) (CE)
Creepshow (CE)
Lost Boys (CE)

And then possibly a few non-CE Sony and Warner titles sprinkled in. I did wonder if they might drop Fright Night Part II with the first but then I think they shot it down again fairly recently so I'm not convinced we'll see that any time soon. Alligator is another one I'm tempted to to go for but I can't see more than 4 CE's in one month, even that seems like one too many.

All good guesses but I'm sure that nobody predicted most of what they're releasing in September so hopefully they have some more surprised still up their sleeves !

I agree... it's very hard to predict what they gonna release.. making it that much more exciting ...

[BarnDoor]

The only two on that list I feel particularly confident about are Critters and Creepshow. You're right, it's really difficult to guess now with these deals in play, especially if they release 8 or so titles again.

NOES boxset. There’s no way this doesn’t get announced soon.

I think a Nightmare On Elm Street set will be Shout Factory's "event" release this year. They've already revealed a robust schedule but they need a big anchor release to tie everything in nicely and this is it.
